The Cardinal and the Rose

I looked out my window and what did I see,                                                                                                                a beautiful red cardinal looking back at me.                                                                                                                       His lovely song,                                                                                                                                                                                                   came on beautiful and strong.                                                                                                                                                                 Below the tree,                                                                                                                                                                                               was a pretty red rose bush will a big yellow bee.                                                                                                           With boxed up emotions and spirit,                                                                                                                                                           the red cardinal wanted to be free.                                                                                                                                               The poor pretty red rose bush just sat,                                                                                                                     
wishing he could be free or a big cat.                                                                                                                                              The red cardinal flew off,                                                                                                                                                                           pretty red rose bush wanted to know was this a brush-off.
