If I Were a Bird | Poem by Praaptie,12, Bhubaneswar

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!
