If I Were A Bird

By Dhamathi Suresh

Looking outside the window,

I lay gazing at the wonderful sky.

Watching at the soaring eagles,

I started wondering, how well do these birds fly?

After thinking for some time,

a thought came into my mind.

“What if I were a bird,

won’t it be more fun?”

I will have powerful wings,

with the help of which I will fly.

I will reach new heights,

in everything I try.

Oh yeah, I can fly over tree tops,

above over the mountain and the skies,

and also, into every important temple or building,

Without buying any entrance tickets :-)

Life could be tougher that I think.

Without parents and teachers as gurus,

But without homework and examination,

life may be free from all tension.

However, suddenly came the realization,

that this was just my imagination,

And all this can happen

Only if I were a bird!
