I wish to be a mockingbird
To imitate perfectly
singing at the sight
of a flicker of light- right on time
To amaze and never once fail
to carry a perfect tune
with just enough joy
harmonizing till noon
A melody already heard
yet new and unique
A master of imitation
an artist within
following a yellow streak
Every chime and song
is voiced peculiarly
not a hint of hesitation
Moving it’s body rhythmically
it never doubts
For it knows which direction it shall go
I wish to be a mockingbird
To imitate so well
to be cherished
because I am
because I do
without fully being myself
