I see

Everything.

Just a child,

Yet the world is clear.

I understand.

I comprehend.

And I know why

The caged bird sings:

Because nothing

Diminishes its spirit.

I know why the phoenix

Rises from the ashes:

Because it wants to show the world

That life will go on.

I know why the eagle flies:

Because it is free.

I live my life like a bird

Now.
