The Gift of Flight

The Gift of Flight

I love the way a bird can fly.
It seems to be, up way high.
Some birds can soar for a very long time.
And then they swoop down low, just one more time.
Their beautiful wings must be so strong.
The air that lifts them up is never wrong.
Some birds can fly amazingly fast.
Others fly for miles, a feat unsurpassed.
I feel sorry for the penguin who cannot fly.
The large strange ostrich will never even try.
But watching geese, as they migrate each fall
Is surely hard work for birds large and small.
Yes, I love the way a bird can fly.
I love the beauty I see in the cool blue sky.
