Bird 

I never knew love could set me free 

With a newfound power I spread my wings 

I am like a bird soaring through trees 

Rambling chirps received with glee  

Annihilating the pain to which I cling 

I never knew love could set me free 

Blind no more, relishing in the world I see 

From my bleeding heart hear me sing 

I am like a bird soaring through trees 

The tender way rough hands hold me 

Two souls merge into one sacred being 

I never knew love could set me free 

Grasps I desire none to take a knee 

Absent is that pressure to don a ring 

We are two birds soaring through trees 

“Let us begin nesting!” is bravely decreed 

And though our aging journey is no sure thing 

I now know love is like flying, so free 

I yearn to stay birds soaring through trees
