Trade places …..please

I set and watch this little bird

sitting in a tree

he glances back every now and then

keeping an eye on me

I would like to offer him a chance to be me

and I would adorn his wings and fly away to be

free

but I suspect he refuse my request and offer this reply

” Your world baffles me… I just don’t understand, You have everything you want ……and yet you wish to be me…… perhaps you should look at your life, and shed what is keeping you….. from being free.”

O
