The Blackbird

The Blackbird

Today at school

I saw a blackbird.

The blackbird flew onto

The basketball hoop

And paused for a second

But only for a second.

Then it flew away again.

As I was sitting

At my desk

Thinking about that blackbird

I thought,

Huh, that blackbird is just

Like life.

Most of the time

We only pause for a second

But only for a second

To think about all

The wonderful things we have

Before we spread

Out our wings and

Soar away!
