Things With Wings

Things With Wings

by Bud Lemire on June 25, 2006

It’s everyday that I see things with wings

Birds and butterflies, all the pretty things

Dragonflies, and the bumblebees

Planes flying overhead, is what one sees

Bugs with wings of every size

That fly right into my eyes

Causing me to be temporarily blind

Things with wings is what I find

Butterflies, so colorful are their wings

And the birds, and the songs they sing

Spread their wings, and see them fly

Gliding above, so low, so high

I once saw something, I never saw before

A blackbird chasing a butterfly, and more

Two hummingbirds in a mating dance

So amazing to see, if you get the chance

Our airborne friends are nice to see

And other creatures too, mean the world to me

What would we do without them here
