My Dream to Fly

As I looked up at the sky,

I saw the other birds flying so high.

Then here I am stuck on the ground,

Hoping for my chance to come around.

I know that I am bigger than most,

And extremely fast, not to boast,

But all I want is my chance to try.

If I don't, I think I'll cry.

I'll just stick my head back into the ground,

As all ostriches do year round,

For I know that my dream may not come true.

I guess I'll just have to be happy with what I do.

So here I am as they fly by,

And with them goes my dream to fly.
