PRISON  BARS 

Lord, never have I ever
felt bound by prison bars,
but too many have -
in marriages, relationships, families, jobs….

But hope better not become imprisoned.

I have seen several prison movies
where some prisoner has a bird -
whom he holds onto too, too long -
but then he finally sets  it free.

Everyone needs hope,
but it needs to be set free.
