Poet's note: The text gives instances when we assume other forms apart from being human. In the first stanza, the character was a bird and he enjoyed the favours of the sky in the second stanza, he was a fish and in the third, he was a tree but then he eventually found out how he missed being human. I wrote this poem to release the heavy thought I had on my mind. My imagination was expressed in words and I also expressed gratitude and appreciation for my existence. The poem is a stepping stone for me to being a great poet.♥
