God gave the birds the power of flight,
Some fly in day and some in night.

How wonderful it surely must be,
For them to land in the tallest tree.

To soar through valleys and see below,
The summer greens and the winter snow.

They never seem to have a care...
'Cause most times their food is everywhere.

But before you wish to be a bird,
I do have some facts that should be heard.

Most birds only live such a short span,
Unlike what God has given to man.

When they die their life will surely end,
They will never be reborn again.

God has put a soul in each of us,
And He only wants our love and trust.

Then as our earthly life is through,
Our life in heaven we will ensure.

So please do not wish for wings to fly,
No bird on this earth could go that high.

As when God lifts our soul high above,
And showers us with an endless love.
