“JUST A SONG”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
If I were a bird, sitting alone in a tree,
a song I would sing,
just for you and me…
It would be a happy one, very sweet,
and for your tender ear,
it would be a treat…

I would then fly down, and perch on your arm,
touch your lips with a kiss,
meaning no harm…
And as I flew slowly back, to my lovely tree,
my heart would beat happily,
for you had kissed me…

I fluttered my wings, with all of my delight,
as I saw your precious smile,
in this morning’s light…
Another song would come, from deep within,
and I would sing to you softly,
over and over, again …

Ok you can sing to me, but darn it, please quit flying over my car. I'm tired of having to wash it.
Really I did like your poem, it's just the dropping of my feathered friends get me down.

Marge Tindal - and I will sing for you, any day. Thanks for the kind words.

Irish Rose - well, I've been hoppin all over the lawn looking for something?

Katherine Chandler - thank you for your kind words, and I'm glad that you liked it.

Elizabeth - well, I've been doing so many sad ones lately I decided to do an upper. Glad that you liked it.

Sven - thanks my friend, glad you could stop by.

inot2B - I know, I know. I'll sing you a song, as a matter of fact I just put one to song. And I will quit flying over the car, I'll fly next to it, and doo doo on the highway! I'll even wash the car for you.
