Wild Life



As the birds swoop and dive
I have to stoop to survive
As they sing so sweet, life is so bittersweet
Untamed wildness, approach it with mildness
We all have a touch of wildness. A day full
of bitterness and no kindness.
The lions and the tigers are untamed 'Yet'
they are unblamed for their wildness.
God has created life, life into the smallest
thing. God has made all animals and the trees
They are the wildest things.
Just like the leaves in the trees
shimmering in the wind I will be here glimmering,until the end.
Live your life wild and free just wait to
see what it brings.
