I am a bird in a cage…
All by myself, all alone
I cannot share my pain…
Or my joy…
No one to call my own.
I want to complain…
But no one listens…
If I want to cry…
No one cares.
I look at the sky…
It appears cloudy and full of gloom…
I look at a flower and try to smile
but it does not want to bloom.
I give up, I give up…
Now my tears also dry
But then, I look outside my window…
And see another bird in a cage
It’s dancing in the cage
And seems so full of joy…
“How are you birdy?” It asks me…
I am sad and lonely and how come…
You’re so full of joy and glee?
Like me, you’re also also a prisoner
And cannot fly in the sky…
The bird flutters its wings and
Sings … but I am full of joy!
What a wondrous world we live in…
What beauty and love,
I hear the children play and babies cry…
The grass is green the sky so blue
All is well, all is lovely,
Full of hope, cheer and love
So many colors, what a hue?
I have a wonderful companion in
the Divine Master who is eternal…
He checks on us every day
And gives what we need…
He loves us all- big and small
“Enjoy your brief journey”, it is ephemeral.
What more can we ask, O’ Dear birdie
But say Thanks, Thanks, and Thanks!
