He is like a bird

"What a beautiful young man!"
She though, gazing at him
as he laughed.
"He is like a crow!
A hawk! A sparrow!

He is free and flies
and he comes down
and sits with me.

How I love him so.
How I need him with
me.

He will teach me how
to fly.
He will tell me everyday,
'Fly, like I do.
Go up and touch the sky.'

I will put him in my
home with me."
She thought.
"He will teach me to
fly.
He is so beautiful
when he flies."
