A small red cardinal stands perched inside
The pretty little bird grows quite complacent
Yet unwillingly to cry out for help
His dark red feathers fade to grey
He becomes very sick
His wings no longer stretch
His beak no longer pecks
One day the little girl wasn't feeling so well
So she put on her dark red dress
When she went to pet her bird
She saw something she'd never forget
The dark red bird laid deeply saddened
His adventurous heart was hurt trapped in a cage
She saw what must be done
With the wind blowing
She opened the cages door
Tears began pouring
As she watched her grey bird become red once again
