A Little Bird

by David R Mellor

entry picture

He belted his little heart out

Same time every day

It lasted for hours and hours

But still…

She  does not come.

 

I shouted out to the little bird

“Why not perch on another tree?”

 

“I was calling out to you…”

the little bird replied,

“To keep that smile on your face.”
