• Birds in a cage
    that yearn to fly,
    do you think
    of a bright blue sky?

    Are you content
    to sit on a perch,
    never outside
    to seek and search?

    God gave you wings
    with which to soar
    so you could sail
    the breeze and explore

    all of God's beauty
    in this world,
    flying free
    with wings unfurled.

    If I were a bird
    I'd find a way
    to escape my cage
    and fly away.
