America
Red, white and blue
Stars and stripes too
We have no hate
America's a great state
We are one
We do not carry guns.
Mountain Bluebird
Blue wings spread out in flight
Beautiful sound throughout the night
Wet wings from soaring
The weather outside is pouring
I've never seen a more beautiful bird in my life.
Firefly
Wings of flame
Illumination of light
Fluttering sound throughout the night
What a beautiful sight
Unicorn
Silky mane, tail of gold
She's so bold
Painted hooves that fly through the air
Hair shines bright like a mare.
