Hold Your Little Bird Close

Hold your little bird close to you
Keep it safe and warm
Not so close to squeeze its' life
But safe from harm

It is a harsh world out there
For a little bird to learn
Hold your little bird close to you
Like an armless man would

Your little bird's needs are very small
A few kind words will do
Hold your little bird with songs of praise
Share a moment or two

Hold it with your heart
And it will always come back to you
Hold your little bird close
And you will feel the comfort too

Offer your little bird the same tasty breads
That lured it down to you
For, she will never hunger
If this is what you do

Hold your little bird tight
Unselfishly, with love
Share your bounty
Be true

And you will forever find your little bird
Right there next to you
