Notes About The Poem

Soaring High-Nursery Rhyme

A young bird in a tree
wanted to fly so high
for everyone to see
but his wings wouldn't fly


He thought he was broke 
But he kept trying each day 
He perched on a huge oak
His wings flapped in May
        
He soared really high
Until he reached the sky

It's hard at first when the new little birds are first trying their wings but then suddenly they make it. They just need time to learn before they get caught by one of my cats. darn it. Good stuff Alexis. God Bless, JB
