If I Were a Bird | Poem by Praaptie,12, Bhubaneswar
What would life be like as a bird? 12-year-old Praaptie from Bhubaneswar writes a poem about this.
I would soar as high as I could,
If I were a bird.
I would touch the enormous sky
If I were a bird.
I would spread my pretty little wings,
If I were a bird.
Amidst fluffy clouds, I would happily swing
If I were a bird.
My home would be the tallest tree,
If I were a bird.
I would fly over the land and the sea,
If I were a bird.
I would dance with Nature’s tune
if I were a bird.
My freedom would be a treasured boon
if I were a bird.
I would bathe in the coolest stream
If I were a bird.
I would feel the sun’s golden gleam
If I were a bird.
The whole day long, I would sing with ease,
If I were a bird.
My song of freedom would echo with the morning breeze,
If I were a bird.
The sky would be my dearest place,
if I were a bird.
Nature would be my best friend and solace,
if I were a bird.
The message of love and peace I would spread,
If I were a bird.
I would always be elated and never be sad
if I were a bird.
Living in a barred cage,
would never be my fate.
I would skim along the fleecy clouds
with my best mates!
