I SOMETIMES WISH...

I sometimes wish I was a bird…

that I could flap my wings and fly…

to land among the treetops…

to soar across the sky.

 

I sometimes wish I had the life…

of a furry river otter,

that I could dive and swim and spin all day…

and play under the water.

 

I sometimes wish I was an elephant…

that I could understand

what it’s like to have a trunk…

to be the strongest and gentlest in the land.

 

I sometimes wish I was a dolphin…

oh, the places I would roam

if I could swim like they do…

if the ocean was my home.

 

So many different animals…

I sometimes wish that I could be…

I wonder…

if any of them…

 

ever wish that they were me?
