If I Were A Bird Poem by Claudia Jane

if I were a bird
I'd fly away
to a place
that I call home

I'd be bright and blue
and I'd sing all the songs I cannot.

if I were a bird
I'd fly to heaven and back
and down to hell
to see my long-gone family.

I'd be small and light
light as feathers that can drift anywhere.

if I were a bird
I'd see the bad people
and the scary people
and just fly away.

I'd be strong and sturdy
and I'd be able
to fly away
from all the evils in the world.
