The Little Bird

The little bird came out of its shell, 
the mama bird nibbled on his beak affectionately, 
for thirty night and thirty days she took care her child. 
Everyday flying of her nest to hunt for food her child, 
returning at the dusk with a little worm in her beak. 

She showered the baby bird with all her love, 
a sweet chirp from him was music to her to her ears.
When the mama bird left the nest, 
the baby bird waited for her to return,
waited for her to come and shower him with her love, 
the sight of her bought a smile on face of the child, 
as a mother she was everything to him, 
she was to him the law, 
she was to him the god, 
she was to him everything in this world.

One day, 
the mama bird took her child to the edge of the branch, she showed him the majestic mountains, 
and the mighty river,
that flowed through the mountains,
she said to him one day, 
a time would come, 
when you would fly away from the nest, 
leaving your mother behind, 
to create a world of your own.

The little bird got afraid,
as for him his mother was the world, 
he looked at her mother with fear in his eyes, 
the mama bird smiled and wrapped him in her wings, 
whispered in his ears ," Do not be afraid little one,
I would always be there for you."

One day the time finally came for little bird, 
for him to learn how to fly, 
he said to her how am I going to fly, 
when my wings are so small, 
mama bird nudged his beak, 
and said to him," I am right behind you little one, trust me and take the leap of faith, 
you must learn how to fall, 
before you fly high in the sky,
you must not be afraid, 
I am here to catch you if you fall."

The little bird took the leap of faith, 
unfurled its wings and tried to fly, 
he fell not once but hundred times. 
Everytime he fell fell he cried, 
mama bird came,
wiped his tears away, 
and told him to try again. 
The little bird for his mother tried and tried, 
till he learned how to fly.
The day finally came, 
when the little bird, 
flew away high in the sky, 
chirping happily it flew with his mother by his side. 
The mama bird said to him, 
time has come for you to fly the nest, 
leave behind these lands,
 mountains and rivers,
and your mother. 

She said to him time has come for you, 
to make your own world. 
Before the little one left the nest his mother said to him,
I have grown old now, 
I have taught you everything I know, 
Wherever you go now remember me, 
and meet me once before I die.

The little bird flew from the nest, 
high above the mountains, 
leaving behind his home, 
his mother to towards a destination unknown, 
with him he took his mother's word, 
to make a world for himself, 
to fulfill his mother's dream.
