Do you know what I would like to be?

A bird up in the sky.

To be so free and then to see

The world just passing by.

I would fly away across the sea,

And go to distant lands.

It would not take much time for me,

But it would be so grand.

Of course, I would then rest awhile

Upon a lovely tree. And then I would look down and smile

At the people I would see.

To me this is a dream of mine,

Some days I feel like this.

To spread my wings and really fly

From everything there is.

But then I know that this is wrong,

We have to live each day.

To try and make our life a song,

And not to fly away. Doris Southall, Runnymede Court

Deane Road, Bolton.
