A canary in a lime tree, <br />Poured out his heart. <br />And all could see, <br />His happiness depart. <br /> <br />His song of sorrow, <br />reached the soul. <br />No more tomorrows, <br />Just bitter cold. <br /> <br />He was left alone, <br />In the cold, cruel world. <br />Just singing his song, <br />As his world unfurled. <br /> <br />Longing for the one, <br />That he loved so. <br />As the dying sun, <br />Just ceased to glow. <br /> <br />His soft, sweet song, <br />Made my tears flow. <br />Cause I felt alone, <br />As I watched him go. <br /> <br />Flying off all alone, <br />His heart torn in two. <br />To an empty home, <br />Feeling lonely and blue. <br /> <br />1/24/11 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-canary-in-a-lime-tree/
