Little Bird
The world is too rough
For someone like you,
Flying too high
And falling too fast,
The world is too rough
For someone like you,
Sidewalk cracks,
And fast cars,
The world is too rough
For someone like you,
Sunburnt skin
And loud voices,
The world is too rough
For someone like you.
But you are safe here,
In my hands,
And even though
The world is to rough
For someone like you,
I am here for you,
Little Bird.

Poetry
In my pieces I wanted to create the fleeting feeling a parent might feel while watching their child grow older, and their efforts to make sure that they are always safe.
