A Warmer Place

A warmer place High in the sky The birds sing to the daylight Free to love and sing All talented and in tone I can listen to the sweet notes To soar through the open skies As they organize Wishing they will find sweet home I close my eyes to hear them once more As they set out for a warmer season I tighten my jacket Heading to the park that’s near As I sit and play My mother starts to sing I pretend I am a bird Flapping my wings and never resting To keep going till I feel the weather change Setting out for a new beginning Meeting other birds just like me On my way home still flapping away till I get home Inside a warmer place where I can start a new life, starting today Because I want to be high in the sky With my wings still strong flying all night By: Marissa Stoops
