The little bird whose wings were clipped
did not know how to fly
Each time the wings grew
they were clipped again
til the bird would not even try.
It struggled alone on top of the ground
where it was able to survive
But it saw the other birds free in the sky
where they’d soar and glide and dive.
The bird felt cheated, afraid and alone
It wanted a second chance
So through care and support
from the creatures around
The little bird learned how to dance.
It seemed a small thing for the bird to do
but it planted a seed of hope
for the little bird knew that with each small step
it was growing and leaning to cope.
After a time, warm and secure
it wasn’t afraid to try
And through the amazing
power of Love
The little bird learned how to fly
