I Will Soar

If I were a birdie,
I'd head up to the sky.
I'd spread my wings like sunshine.
I know I could fly mighty high!

If I were a birdie,
my feathers would be bright.
Every color would be striking.
I'd soar and reach new heights.

If I were a birdie,
I'd sing a lovely song.
Everyone would stop and listen;
they would begin to sing along.

If I were a birdie,
I'd follow all my dreams.
Small streams to vast oceans,
under golden bright sunbeams.

If I were a birdie,
I'd flit about from tree to tree,
with many different flocks of birdies.
We would be free to be free.

If I were a birdie,
I'd head up to the sky.
I'd spread my wings like sunshine.
I know I could fly mighty high!

This poem leaves such a feeling of freedom, Annette, I enjoyed it. I used to have this recurring dream that I could fly, I always woke up feeling so free. Glad to see you posting, I missed reading your poetry. Hugs, John
