Fly high, soaring through the limitless sky
Thatโs where you belong, not here
This goodbye, brings tear to my eye.
Find your flock, be one with them, don’t shy
They will accept you, do not fear
Fly high soaring through the limitless sky.
Early morning, I know I will sigh
Your chirping tune I will not hear
This goodbye brings tear to my eye.
Build your safe haven on a branch up high
Stay free, sing your song, oh my dear,
Fly high soaring through the limitless sky.
The birdhouse empty, none to share my pie
Your black quill, will be no where near
This good bye brings tear to my eye.
I will miss thee, may be I will cry
This shall heal with every passing year
Fly high through the limitless sky
This goodbye, brings tear to my eye!

Ohh ๐ This goodbye brings tear to my eye too. Beautiful, HS.
On a good note, unlike humans, animals and birds donโt forget the ones who have shown them love, and they do pay back a visit once in a while ๐

We had an eagle like that. She was never kept in a cage. But came back every evening, perched on a tree next to our house, ate the food we gave, and left the next morning.

๐ Eagles are pretty common around our place. You can easily find two to three of them chilling on the top of coconut trees around my house.
We had all kinds of pets at home, except a cat. My brother is terribly scared of cats ๐

You know 2 days back, I was talking to our parrot and wondering how hard a goodbye would mean if he decides to fly away.
Though we open his cage and he never flies but still.
We kinda get attached to them!
