Swallow



Where is the happy swallow?
where it is, you do not see happen?
I search among the leaves of the trees
I seek and I not find
beautiful cheerful swallow flies
without wanting to stop flies
thick strokes your flight
your flight gets very fleeting
be hidden in the green palm trees?
is where she wants to be
in heaven released by men
where there is the word freedom
she is free, she flies our skies
she flies with tropical flavor
flits and transcends its fligth
continents, nations when flying
the swallow is a bird very plump
lacking all evil
beautifies our skies, our wildlife
bird of eternal freedom.
