The Kite

[Lyn05]

When the kite was ready
It was eager to flee
Out through the window
And into the breeze

So when the time came
The kite was with glee
Freedom! At last!
Liberty!

The kite flew far
Not turning back
Further! Faster!
Then
It was stopped in its tracks

The kite had fallen
Into a tree
It was shredded to bits
It truly wished to flee

Then something tugged the string
Right at its end
And poof!
The kite was flying again

Faster! Faster!
It swooshed through the breeze
And there, the window!
The kite smiled with relief

Back through the window
The kite recalled
It was here that it was nourished
It was here that it was cared for

When the kite was mended
It was eager to flee
Out through that window
And into the breeze

But it remembered
To look back
