A Bird on a Summer's Day
September 9, 2011
To be a bird on a summer’s morn,
Waking up to the sun,
Alive and warm.
To hear the chick’s feeble cry,
“I’m off to find food!”
And I take to the sky.
To be a bird on a summer’s day,
Not a care in the world,
Simply chirping away.
To shake with fright as the black bird crows,
Or to be the one scaring if another comes too close.
To be a bird on a summer’s eve,
To feel myself rise on a gentle breeze.
Relaxing alone on a sturdy branch,
Or to fly back home,
And make it by chance.
The life of a bird on a summer’s day?
None but they can explain or say.
