O TO BE A SEAGULL

   O, To Be a SeaGull

O, to be a seagull

To sail the whispering sea

To catch the sun when day is done

And never need the tree.

O, to be a seagull

With nothing more to do

Than watch for food and catch it

And bathe within the blue.

O, to be a seagull

With freedom in my soul

Feathers ruffled with the wind

And days made out of gold.

O, to be a seagull

Not tethered to the earth

To know your purpose in this world

Between your death and birth.

O, to be a seagull

A common bird for sure

But special in my eyes so that

That bird, I wish I were.
