The little bird sits at rest
All alone at its nest
The others long since flown away
Does anyone care?
Is there still love to share?
The little bird sobs in its wing
Do they remember their friend
Who would care, help and tend
When branches all came crashing down?
Now they've all gone.
Flown far 'cross neighbor's lawn
Leaving little bird on her own
