The Mockingbird's Song

When I woke up something was wrong

something was missing

for there was no song

no song in the air

no song on the trees

something was wrong indeed

i raced downstairs

to make sure everything was okay

then I saw it

the Mockingbird's Song

it was lying in the middle of the floor

with nothing to protect it from dirt or dust

nothing to keep it from the right and wrong of the world

the Mockingbird's Song

i was looking for something to patch it up

something to help the Mockingbird's wing

it was upset

it was trying to fly away

but i had to tend to it

before something took it away

i brought it up to my room

i cleaned up its wing, not too bad

i looked out my window, still no song

no birds inspired by the Mockingbird's song

i needed to use the restroom but something kept me from

then i heard a growl

my dog was at the door

it ran to me and took the bird

took it away to never be found

with the bird in it's mouth it took down the stairs

then finally crashed into the sofa

it knocked the bird out of it's mouth and onto the floor

i picked it up and held it and said you can do this

then like in a instant, the bird was healed

it took off out of the open window

and it started it's song

I listened to it's beautiful song

it was wonderful

to tell the other's it is day

i started to look away

happy to say i helped
