I Want To See The World Poem by Lauren Coles

I want to see the world
You can't understand a bird,
Take away the hair and replace it with feathers,
A bird will go crazy if you don't let it go in the wild,
Pets take a lot of work,
A injured bird can't take care of itself,
In a rehab environment they are not allowed to see their family,
Vets give them homework,
They must steady their feet to practice flying,
They might not want to eat,
But it's the only way to get stronger,
It might take months and lots of rest,
There will be a day where you have to set them free,
Birds are like kids leaving for college,
They have to go on their own journey.
