If I could incorporate characteristics of birds into my life, I would like to

Start each morning on a cheerful note 

Maneuver as gracefully as birds fly through trees

Have the beauty of a cardinal      

Be as fluid as the hawk, soaring, circling, dipping

Glide on water like a swan

Be able to sing like a sparrow

Have assertiveness of the blue jay, yet the peaceful nature of a mourning dove

Be wise as an owl, respected like the eagle

Eat like a bird

Have the energy of a hummingbird 

Flock with my friends
