Little Bird


A poem by Michael Joseph Farrelly

Fly high, fly free little bird
You kept your wings unclipped
Despite all wrathful word
From pecking shoulders chipped

Find your flock little bird
Fly with doubts and wonder too
Seek with sense and vision stirred
Gliding tailwinds with a view

Make your nest little bird
Far from the flattered crowd
Feathered minds free rein spurred
A candid flock unbowed

Raise your own little bird
Teach them well and teach them kind
Seek truth in ev'ry word
'til fledgling flight divined

Soar high skies little bird
Catch the updraft of each chord
Sing your song so loud it's heard
Reap the chorus wholly awed

Face your headwinds little bird
Hold your nerve through tempest storm
Fly bold but calm assured
Through icy winds of scorn

You climbed so high little bird
But now your wings will clip
As life and death are paired
The Reapers scythe must sip

So looking back little bird
You flew your life so free
A role model revered
Nesting on sovereign tree

Great quotes are not where you find great wisdom. It's where you share this knowledge that counts

Sharing Is Caring
