Free little bird,

Golden wings

Milky Way swirls, your big brown eyes.

I wish you the best day today, and everyday as well,

I wish you love and peace and happiness,

I wish you the most beautiful day

I wish I could see you,

Talk to you,

One day I will cross the messy, wild sea,

And sever this messy arrangement and create a silver house with green vines twisted with magnolias by the Seine,

A dream of solitude, with the grace of faith

And no more fear or sadness

But until then, know that a friend is never from from reach

Nothing and no one could stop me from being

Your confidant and close companion,

It’s impossible to me, to think

Anyone could break up or destroy our golden string,

My golden free bird,

It’s woven in a healing, eternal lemon balm, in kindness

And truth—-now fly

And uplift others as you have for me.
