Birds

Birds fly so gracefully o'er the sky

and clouds, To be so graceful you must be

a crane, a quail, or even a magpie,

They ride the wind like leaves from a tree,

Their wings stretch far from cloud to cloud and beat

up and down like time flying, They put on

a show of air ballet, what a great feat!

A flock of birds float and flutter 'til dawn.

But a bird's life is not so calm, nor is

it easy, For sharing the sky are hawks

who prey on the lives of smaller birds, tis

a sad sight for watchers below.

Even though some are killed, new lives spawn, We

thank God for new life that can be set free.
