To Fly

To be like a bird and fly and fly To touch the edge of the azure sky to fly together, to swoop and soar To visit the clouds forever more. To dance with the wind, a pirouette bask midst a gold and crimson sunset Fly over mountains crested with snow Finding wonder-filled places to go Fly over meadows blazing with bloom To ruffle wildflowers' sweet perfume To fly on its back to rainbow's end Then fly with rain, a welcoming friend To fly with wonder at each new place To fly high hoping to see God's face To age gracefully, as it has grown Then tell tales of places it has flown Of magic lands, where Bird had a key To open secrets just birds can see With a final breath, Bird seeks the sky where now its spirit will fly and fly
