Little Bird

Little bird, with us you were placed,

With a wounded wing

And a weary face,

A broken family, 

A broken heart,

In the system before your life did start.

Weighed down by sorrow, grief and strife,

It's all you've known in your short life

You're scared and confused 

But do you know?

I believe in you and I love you so.

Big brown eyes,

Filled with fear,

Seen too much in your few years.

You've paid the price for adult mistakes,

At the mercy of others to decide your fate.

Precious child, do you know?

I believe in you and I love you so.

My heart is conflicted

With both hope and fear.

I turn away so you can't see my tears.

I pray for answers.

What more can I do?

How can I be a strength for you?

Please let me help you,

do you know?

I believe in you

And I love you so.

Hearts can be mended

Through the power of love.

Prayers can be answered

From heaven above.

You can be whatever you choose.

You've broken the cycle

You can't lose.

You're going to survive this

I hope you know,

I believe in you

And I love you so.
