My mommy bought me a song bird.
It's yellow and green and white,
But this morning it wouldn't sing a note,
Something just wasn't right.

I went to the kitchen to tell my mom,
"My bird won't sing anymore?"
She said get dressed or you'll be late,
Pick your clothes up off the floor!"

My bird just kind of lays there?
No sound nor chirps or song,
Why doesn't my bird sing anymore?
Maybe my dad will know what's wrong?

I went into the den to ask my dad,
He knows most everything,
"Dad" I said, "That bird I have,
Just lays there and won't sing."

My dad replied, "I'm late for work,
Hand me my case and lunch,
And don't be late for school or "else",
And you better not miss your bus!!"

Why doesn't my bird sing anymore,
So sweetly like he did back then?
I guess when I get home from school,
I'll just wind it up again.

See! Even **babygirl** knows. But don't let that stop you.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Toe...I was afraid that your bird had met the same fate that my canary did last year....sigh!  Now, you went and made me cry.

Cute this was...maybe I should try toy birds instead of real ones, ya think?
