I felt the hand of sorrow just the other day and I knew the end of tomorrow would soon become today I never held the little things I always passed them by never knew the caged bird sings until it said good-bye I'd never heard a more painful cry than the tune that was sung never knew a more terrible lie around my throat had hung I stood to hear the sorrow song and I waited endlessly held in place by the tortuous wrong bestowed upon eternity from tears to joy and back again my heart and soul did go it showed alot of me within and somethings I did not know I grew to love this singing soul and all that it could see it made my life seem so whole and set my spirit free then I saw with wondrous eyes the meaning of the caged bird's song and I came to realize it was in me all along so blind I must have been to never see the sheets and deaf I should have been I never heard the streets yet now I hear their harmonious ring even on the darkest nights to all the places joy can bring outshining the brightest of lights I'll always remember the caged bird and the sorrows it made me see I'll always rest assured because the bird had set me free |

Wow! I like this, a lot. It made me think, and it's beautiful. I think I'll put it in my library, where I can read and think some more. Nice lessons learned from that caged bird. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

well, des, i've always said that life is like taking a brand new crisp perfectly good $100 bill and breaking it into $20's and a couple of $10's and a handful of quarters and pennies and then going out and blowing it all on stuff that doesn't last.... yep...life is change, all right.... and if i had a nose full of nickles i'd sneeze them all atchoo!!! hehe *wink*.... what a difference a day makes, y'know? speaking of which, i dig the poem, soldier... when's the dancing start? |

Desperado~ 'I never held the little things I always passed them by never knew the caged bird sings until it said good-bye' These thoughts should be universally acknowledged. Nicely portrayed. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Ya can't go wrong with this one! I love it and the message in it, Des. You keep writing, and I'll keep reading! "This above all-ask yourself in the stillest hour of your night:MUST I write? Delve into yourself for a deep answer. Rainer Maria Rilke from "Le |

No special words of wisdom from methistime although.... I never did like cages. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." |
