Flying Like a Lark

Inspired by Prince Roger Nelson`s song “Play in the Sunshine”.

                                            Flying Like a Lark

                                      I wish to flutter in the sky,
                                      Like a lark to fly very high
                              But build my nest where dwell all men
                                 Settle where reside all my friends;

                                     I wish to be cheery like bees
                                     Glide along the sky ever free
                                Roam amidst the expanse of fields
                               Rove up the height of greenish hills;

                                  I wish my fill to pick from trees,
                         From fruits, leaves, insects and some fleas
                             Glide along with the southern breeze
                               And bask in the sunshine with ease;

                                  I wish to hop from tree to tree
                                  Exult amidst bushes with glee
                             From spring days to summer season
                                Learning from elders my lesson;

                              With coming fall, to warmer climes
                                I shall flee in search of sunshine,
                                But with onset of signs of spring
                               Back to my loving nest I`ll swing;

                               I wish at my journey`s dead end
                            To soar where sky and heaven blend
                                 And reach the apex of my goal
                                  To provide solace to my soul.
