finding my song
when I tell them I want
to be a bird when I grow up
all I hear is laughter
not just any bird
I go on to say
but one in which I can paint
my own feathers
a different color every day
one in which I can sing
a new song until I find the one
sung directly from my heart
and when I die
my brightest of feathers
will surely fade away
but my song
oh my song
it will live forever
