If I could be an animal <br />I think I’d like to be <br />just like the little blue bird <br />that’s sitting in my tree. <br /> <br />I look at him and wonder <br />what it’s like when you can fly. <br />I’ll bet the world looks beautiful <br />from up there in the sky. <br /> <br />There would be no traffic jams <br />or stop signs in the air. <br />No bumpy roads with potholes <br />would ever be up there. <br /> <br />But I’d miss my mom and dad <br />and who’d be there at night <br />to help me brush my teeth <br />and tuck me in real tight? <br /> <br />He looks at me each morning <br />from the same branch in my tree. <br />While I sit wishing I was him, <br />is he wishing he was me?<br /><br />C.J.
