Low Flyer
Eagles soar and so do hawks.
And kites and planes and red windsocks.
Osprey soar, and ravens do
And vultures float with wings out too.
But I, a lowly bumblebee
Can only watch and wish
While others do it gracefully
My wings just flap and swish.
And kites and planes and red windsocks.
Osprey soar, and ravens do
And vultures float with wings out too.
But I, a lowly bumblebee
Can only watch and wish
While others do it gracefully
My wings just flap and swish.
