~Call of the Bird~

Oh but the call
call of the bird
songs of the wind that cry
they wake up and sing
oh beautiful songs
until the day they die

Their flight is so lovely
they caress the air
with the golden tips of their wings
oh but to guide them
oh so smoothly
tis joy of the gift they bring

Listen and watch them oh so sweetly
it brings a smile upon my face
you see the hatchlings in their nest
to wonder where they go
without a trace

The birds search abroad
to find their food
they travel far and wide
to watch them flock when winter appears
they travel together with pride

Oh but the call
call of the bird
songs of the wind that cry
they wake up and sing
oh beautiful songs
until the day they die.

To be honest, When I was first reading your poem I was thinking about suggesting some changes, but when I was finished I decided that those are the things that make your poetry yours and I don't think I would change a thing. Well written.

'to wonder where they go without a trace'

Yes when I was very young, I did. Amazing!

Thank you for sharing this one with me.

Debbie,

Nothing can beat this! *blush* I can't suggest anything. It is what it's meant to be.

Although I like the happy sound that goes with it, I wonder if all that birds are known for is their beauty and songs. Well written.

Well... Like I said, when I was finished reading the whole poem, I didn't think that the changes were neccessary, and that they would take away from the poem. I love it.
