What Would I Be If I Weren't Me?

I'd be a a bird that soars the heavens
and when I am hungry 
I would dive below for a bite to eat
starfish, and  mini crabs,
rats and rodents,
bugs and beetles and worms
but I think my favorite treat
would be the seeds left in feeders in the backyards
of the caring bird lovers and bird watchers
in the neighborhoods that I fly over each day

And then to thank these caring bird lovers and bird watchers
I would sing a song that they love to hear
a song that thanks them for the treats they've left and
encourages them to leave more tomorrow

And then I'd fly high and low and all around
and stretch and spread my wings
and bathe in the bird bath with clear, clean water
and dance in the air to entertain and delight
these caring bird lovers and bird watchers

Yes, if I couldn't be me
a bird I would be
to enjoy the bird's eye view of this beautiful planet
