Giraffe Blues Poem by Casey Jarrell

I can feel your hand caressing me.
I can feel a warmth forming inside my heart.
I can also tell you've also crying those endless tears.
Eventhough I'm here with you, you would kiss me.
Our world is for us!

Our dreams that we hold are spreading their wings.
They will never lose faith in us.
We are strong enough to fly on our own.
I will always stay by your side!

It is time for me to spread my wings,
and take flight along with all of you.
My voice will carry us above the clouds.
Our light will shine for all the world to see.
I know times will get hard, but we must be strong!

There is a light somewhere inside of you.
You must try fight the tears.
Let the wind carry you to ends of the world.
I must say that I truly love you so!

Our dreams that we hold are spreading their wings.
They will never lose faith in us.
We are strong enough to fly on our own.
I will always stay by your side!
