I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS
A free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wing in the orange suns rays and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage
can seldom see through his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.
Ever feel trapped?
I enjoy being up on a Saturday morning reading the news, drinking my espresso. There's a slight breeze through the walnut trees outside my dining room window and the day is still undecided if it will be cloudy or sunny.
HB and Skyler are still asleep. Skyler's ADHD medicine doesn't seem to be doing much good. Her doctor changed the dosage; hopefully that will help her. It's strange to see her at this woman/child stage of the game---almost 14 now. Needing me/but hating me. Isn't that the teenage way? I'm quite tolerant of most of her ways, which gives her more reason to hate me. Two old hippies raising a daughter with love and way too much understanding for her to appreciate just yet. Still I feel blessed...
The comment area will not be operating properly until approximately May 1st, as I understand it. But my test post did allright. I do apologize for the inconvenience oh so sincerely.
