these feathers I groom, they are not my own
these feathers lift me up to the greatest heights
these wings flew down from heaven
someone who could set me free
these feathers I will groom them, care for them, protect them
they shelter me from all fear and harm
these feathers that wrap ‘round me tight
belong to my safety, my home
i will mend these wings if they are hurt
i will shed a tear for any feathers that hit the ground
i will lift up these wings in return
i am forever grateful
