The Caged Bird Still Sings

Just in case you ever wondered why

This ball of water yet rotates on its axis

In times like these and men still wear a smile

Tho throttled on the throat by the claws of adversity,

There is a song that spins a web of strength.

Connecting all of God’s creation refueling the spent;

A lilting miracle that nudges exanimate rocks to breathe:

Does it come as a surprise the caged bird still sings?
