Wishings of a Songbird (unfinished)

Started in a hotel deep in the heart of Alabama...

Wishings of a Songbird

Perched atop a maple tree
Sat a songbird watching me
Wond'ring to myself, I say
How happy can you really be?

Day by day you flirt and sing
Ne'er a care from anything
Full of cheer and such delight
Light in step and feathered wing

Deep inside how must you yearn
Know you well, that ardent burn?
Felt by one in such a plight
Having nowhere left to turn

Hidden deep beneath your song
Lie the ways that you've been wronged
