I Am Free As a Bird

*Inspired by the song I have put in here:  ‘Free Bird’ by Lynyrd Skynyrd

I am free as a bird 
Flying through life to be
On the notes of every song heard
In colorful open skies I see

I am free as a bird
Choosing what it is I do
Capturing sights with written word
I hope to bring to others too

I am free as a bird
Resting calmly in a tree
Cherishing each moment stirred
That waits for you and me

I am free as a bird
There is no distance too far
For what I believe, I am not deterred
Beneath every shining star

Hi Heidi, I enjoyed the scene you created. It was so calm and peaceful. I really liked what I saw. I like Lynyrd Skynyrd "Southern Rock "at It's finest! Good job :-) Alexis
