A Second Chance To Live
I saw the bird once and it sang to me.
I didn't want it to go.
I asked and pleadedbut it was sad to see
And so I let it know.
"I will be ready the next time you comeI promise."
It's eyes widened and it left singing no more.
O great Phoenix! Thank you for another chance!
And that's when I opened my eyes.
To my surprise I saw the fire dance.
