Sing Now, All the Birds of the Earth

awakening at daybreak 
my voice sings like a bird 
as the sun rises.
my arms stretch like wings 
ready to flutter and soar 
welcoming a new day
ready to travel far and beyond.  

we are not so different 
separate yet not alone
bird and human 
living and breathing
sleeping and dreaming 
for a better world

Hello Joan … a nice verse explaining that practically all of God's creatures have a similar make up, but different reasons for being on our earth - thank you Joan - Lindsay

Spring is here and the birds are singing. What a great sound to hear. i like where you say, "my voice sings like a bird." We need to sing more. Have a good day.........
