If I Had a Snowy Owl

If
I had a Snowy Owl
I
would watch it soar above the cold crystal white snow
Its
wings would silently flap above
A
white blanket in a winter forest.
I
would watch it fly over a colorful rainbow.
It
would have white silky wings with black speckly spots.
I
would fly on its wing tips into the starry night sky
And
then into a snowy dark and green forest.
If
I had a Snowy Owl.
If
I had a Snowy Owl
His eyes would sparkle in the silver
moonlight
While
looking for its prey
It
would fly beside me as my friend
If
I had a Snowy Owl
