Once there was a little bird With nothing left at all All alone stuck on the ground The bird just felt...so small
So the bird began to walk Till the old nest was out of sight It didn't have the strength anymore To stand up for itself and fight
After walking for forever It found another nest But decided to keep walking It didn't want to be a pest
But there was someone in the nest That kindly invited the bird to stay And though the bird was cynical It thought "well maybe just today"
The day turned into a week That week turned into two And before the bird realized it All its problems slowly withdrew
Its feathers gradually grew back And its wing slowly began to heal The more time it spent in this new nest The more living here seamed ideal.
The bird got its confidence back And once again it could soar It flew around with its new friends And sang louder than before
Once there was a little bird As happy as could be It soared up in the sky all day Home at last...and free
This morning....almost an entire year later, I came up with a sort of happy alternate ending/continuation of my poem "Flightless" and just kinda had to write it down. I still love flightless as a stand alone poem exactly the way it is....but I feel like this alternative ending/part two also ties it up nicely and like sends a good message and whatnot, so I felt the need to write it and share it. Anyways, hope you all like this similar stand alone poem/continuation/Alternate ending? lol
