Sky-High, Looking Down on You©

I soar overhead
Looking down on all that you do
I see some scurry on their way to work
Others are off to school
I see old man Parker sitting on his porch stoop
All the pigeons gather with their beaks out
Waiting for their morning bread
Mr. Lee opens up his market
Placing fruits and vegetables outside his door
Officer Bill walks his morning beat
And Lucy’s out for her morning jog
All these things I miss
Now that I soar in the sky-high above you
I feel displaced here in limbo
Hoping for something different from what I now have
More like I was use too so long ago
If only it was yesterday
And all could be done again
Maybe, just maybe
I’d be back there with you again
Until then I stay sky-high, looking down on you
