The Boy and the Bird

Hope can be anything,
It could be an item,
A memory,
or something in the future.

Hope can also be lost,
stolen by your own demons,
or your own thoughts.

The only thing that can kill hope, is doubt,
but even then hope cannot be defeated.

Whether your symbol of hope is a bird,
the sky,
or the grass
Having hope is like a colorful sky.
The colors may disappear but there's always a beautiful sunset that comes back every day

Your hope could be a bird,
but what happens when that bird is incapable of flying?
That little bird starts to doubt how he's going to survive,
He's slowly losing hope because to that bird,
his wings were his hope.
Now that they're gone he has very little hope left,
but even then that smallest bit could help him.

Days went by of the little bird not eating, and then all of a sudden that little pinch of hope
That is what rescued him.

A little boy found the bird while walking down a trail,
He immediately ran and picked him up.
The little bird chirped, opened his eyes and the boy brought him home.
Weeks later after being well fed and groomed,
The boy decided to help the bird fly again
After many tries, the bird was able to fly.

Now up until this day,
The little bird's hope was no longer his wings,
Instead, his hope was the boy.
