I saw a dream, it was strange,
A bird who got change,
No longer in a cage,
Never mentioned on any page.

Always so courageous,
She was never furious,
Had a heart of luminous,
She was always victorious,

Because she has forever worked hard,
learnt how to walk on a wand,
Never left her self-guard,
Now she lives as self-contained.
