To Watch

If I had one little bird
That I could hold
Cupped
In my hand
That could live
Perched
On my windowsill
And not make a mess
And that would sit on
My familys' heads'
And not bother them
And not bother anyone
A bird
That would not make a racket
But would sing beautifully
Not squawk
Or peck at anyone
Or anything
A little bird
A friend to all

If I had that bird
I would
Let it go.

because i love to see them fly away
