Listen to poem:

Birdman

Birdman 

Sometimes we fly
Sometimes we fall
But if we don't  try
We learn nothing at all 

So buckle-up sunshine
Strap yourself in
Let's head for that sun
Where the atmosphere's thin 

If we aim for the highest
Fill our lungs and take flight
We can only be chased 
By the darkness of night 

For the thrill in the journey
And the stretching of wings
Is the beautiful reason
Why every bird sings.
