"If Birds Could Talk"
~~~
If birds could talk.
What would they say.
"Good morning world!
It's a lovely day today"
"I'm just here resting in this tree.
Calling on my mate
Shush! I hear her singing contentedly;
sitting on her eggs, in a state of wait.
If birds could talk.
What would they say.
"Oh look!!the sun is coming out.
And it's a lovely day to play".
"Come on!let's spread our wings.
And fly high with ease.
Let's find some different,
kind of trees".
If birds could talk.
What would they say.
"Just busy singing and chirping here.
Cause my babies will be hatching any day"
"You see! we sing in harmony
in early morn.
And we sing our best,
after a storm".
If birds could talk.
What would they say.
"We know God gave us a place, in this world.
So we too need to have our say.

Here is a poem by ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow~
called "Birds of Passage"

"Birds of Passage"
~~~
Black shadows fall
From the lindens tall,
That lift aloft their massive wall
Against the southern sky;
And from the realms
Of the shadowy elms
A tide-like darkness overwhelms
The fields that round us lie.
But the night is fair,
And everywhere
A warm, soft vapor fills the air,
And distant sounds seem near;
And above, in the light
Of the star-lit night,
Swift birds of passage wing their flight
Through the dewy atmosphere.
I hear the beat
Of their pinions fleet,
As from the land of snow and sleet
They seek a southern lea.
I hear the cry
Of their voices high
Falling dreamily through the sky,
But their forms I cannot see.
Oh, say not so!
Those sounds that flow
In murmurs of delight and woe
Come not from wings of birds.
They are the throngs
Of the poet's songs,
Murmurs of pleasures, and pains, and wrongs,
The sound of winged words.
This is the cry
Of souls, that high
On toiling, beating pinions, fly,
Seeking a warmer clime.
From their distant flight
Through realms of light
It falls into our world of night,
With the murmuring sound of rhyme.
