Flying Like a Lark

Inspired by Prince Roger Nelson`s song “Play in the Sunshine”. ************************************************************** Flying Like a Lark I wish to flutter in the sky, Like a lark to fly very high But build my nest where dwell all men Settle where reside all my friends; I wish to be cheery like bees Glide along the sky ever free Roam amidst the expanse of fields Rove up the height of greenish hills; I wish my fill to pick from trees, From fruits, leaves, insects and some fleas Glide along with the southern breeze And bask in the sunshine with ease; I wish to hop from tree to tree Exult amidst bushes with glee From spring days to summer season Learning from elders my lesson; With coming fall, to warmer climes I shall flee in search of sunshine, But with onset of signs of spring Back to my loving nest I`ll swing; I wish at my journey`s dead end To soar where sky and heaven blend And reach the apex of my goal To provide solace to my soul.
