A Bird Is A Gift
A bird is a gift
And brings forth a smile
Whether a mockingbird or swift
He uplifts for a while
He always lets us know
That the earth is right
And brightens up our day
With his colors bright
I love to see one perch
High up in a tree
Singing out his song
So sure and peacefully
When aloft on his wings
I wish I could go too
Above everything
Every afternoon
I wish I were a bird
And could concentrate
On my little nest
And chicks that await
