Ode to the bird in the cypress tree <br />~ <br />I wish to be like the bird in the cypress tree <br />shaded from the heat of the midday sun <br />yet still free to ride upon the ocean breeze <br />whenever it chooses to blow from time to time <br />I wish to be like the bird in the cypress tree <br />and chirp my own little song aloud to the world <br />or to fly amongst the clouds so high above <br />and look down to watch the world below <br />I wish to be like the bird in the cypress tree <br />for all my wishes and day bought dreams <br />I am here and I am still me writing a poem <br />about that lucky bird perched in the cypress tree<br /><br />Matthew Holloway<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-the-bird-in-the-cypress-tree/
