My momma made me a bird of clay When I was very young And though its clay and not a bird It has many songs its sung Some for happiness some for joy Others for hurt and pain But then one day my clay bird broke And never sang again I carry the pieces and often I cry Til the clay is damp with tears The clay bird that once cheered my days Now embodies all my fears I didn’t break my lil clay bird It was cruelly done by another Its not my fault but yet it seems That I broke my gift from Mother I’ve heard there is a far off place So I am going to see If there like all the stories say They’ll fix my bird for me I do not walk alone at all My friends are by my side They hold my hands and hug me tight And never shame me when I cry Some say we are all lil clay birds Deep inside our hearts And life is gifted to us No matter how rough the start Along the way we can be broken Shattered and destroyed It can sometimes make us stronger And is impossible to avoid Hand in hand I walk with friends Each one holds a piece you see Together we’ll remake my bird For all the world to see And should some sweet soul happen then To admire my mother’s gift of clay I will test them and try them well Before I give my bird away They must learn to hear her sing And must know every song They must love her and cherish her So nothing ever goes wrong Then and only then Will I trust them with mother’s clay True love is earned through trust and deeds Or it isn’t love that way. " and I dream of her always, |

I love this. Mother's clay is precious indeed. We are all molded by her fingers. Love, Joyce |
