Like Bird, Like Tree

Like Bird, Like Tree - A Poem for My Little Sister

Sometimes we're made to go and fly While other times we're made to stay and grow And though our strengths will take us different ways On our journey to the stars I know we'll meet there in the end

Because, my friend you're like a bird And I am like a tree But we both are reaching for the stars

So now I watch you fly away Soaring to our dreams While I remain here on the ground

And I'll dig my roots I'll dig my roots I'll grow them deeper and I'll get stronger And with my head in the clouds I'll stretch my branches out And I'll touch the sky from right where I am So when you need a place to land

I'll be here Listening for your song

Because sometimes we're made to go and fly While other times we're made to stay and grow And though our strengths will take us different ways On our journey to the stars I know we'll meet there in the end

My friend you're like a bird And I am like a tree But we both are reaching for the stars
