The Kite Flyer

There was once a kite flyer

who flew his kites so high

He can hold on to his strings

and never get tired

 

He makes his kites by hand

He makes 'em colorful

He makes 'em grand

 

So one day, the kite maker flew his finest kites

In the hopes of showing everyone his amazing feats of flight

But because there were so many and the wind was strong

His strings tangled and the flight patterns got all wrong

one of the strings snapped and one of the kites flew

the wind took it and away it blew

 

One by one the strings broke

and all the kite flyer can do was to watch them float

away from him, the kites were set free

All his hard work, his dreams. his reality

 

The kite flyer looked up the sky

crying and regretting

There's nothing left of him

nothing but broken strings
