Birds fly within my hand

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Rhymed
Birds fly within my hand
As I try to understand
The love of you
So why so blue?
Is it because
I stole your heart
From the moment of hello
at the very start
Our child-like hearts
Swing in my arms
As we dance
In the starlit charms
My love I know
I could cause no harm
But to beat your heart faster
Each moment we part
