If I were a little bird
I’d soar the endless skies
Dip my wings into the ocean
View the mountains high

I’d take flight with the dandelions
and twirl and sing and dance
on the gentle breeze
I happen on perchance

I’d befriend the butterflies
in their glorious splendour
as they alight upon a flower
whispering wings so tender

I’d taunt and tease the cats
daring dashing close
just out of their reach
right before their nose

I’d sip the sweetest nectar
from flowers on the vine
a treat like none other
natures finest wine

I wish I were a little bird
so beautiful and sweet
for then life would be fun
a blessed joyful treat.
