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
