#thehappyprince
Oh how it once dreamt of flying high in Egypt
Flying amongst glistening golden sand
Soaring with it's flock
All together, holding hands
Until it found a prince,
Called happy but tears fell
He saw the pain that no one felt
So it stayed and helped.
Moved as a messenger
Chose death and frost
Over enjoyment and warmth in winter
A bird's sacrifice,
A spark of hope, that never hindered.

A heart of lead
Couldn't beat
Couldn't feel
Wasn't worthy without it's precious
Yet it beat for poor, that no one saw
It felt for the weak, that no one heard
It gave away all it's shine, for ones unknown
Stripping away sapphires, rubies, gold
It's actual worth was shone.
