The Bird

I watch the bird as it flutters by, 
I wish as a bird I too could fly,
To get away from the hurt and pain, 
To see up there what I can gain,
I'd like to see the world from up there, 
And never have to be worried scared, 
I wish I could be seen and heard, 
Just like that fluttering little bird!
