I wish I could fly
Free as a bird
Flying so high
So I might touch the sky

I wish I could dive
Deep as a Whale
Finding treasures untold
And ships that once sailed

I wish I could play
As happily as the dolphin
Squeaking and squealing
And splashing about

I wish I could see
With the eyes of an eagle
To see as things are
Not what they look to be

I wish I could blossom
As beautiful as a flower
To be admired by all
Everyday; Every hour

I wish I could sing
With the voice of a dove
A voice of beauty;
A song of love

I wish for love
As true as the wolf's
A life-long bond
Strong and full

My one final wish
One you will never hear
Is my wish for you heart
To love me dear

© Gretchen L., Edina, MN
