A WISH
I wish I could travel all around the world,
And see all there is to see;
I'd like to be a fish in a pond,
Or fly through the air like a bee.
In the mornings, I'd like to be watching
As the dew falls and the birds start to sing.
The sun brightens up the horizon,
As another day life will bring.
I'd like to crawl inside a flower
Just to see how it feels to bloom.
Then I'd lift my face way up to the sky
With my beauty and sweet perfume.
I wish I could walk on the seashore
And watch the tide roll in.
Sit on the sand and feel the waves
Then watch them go out again.
I'd like to be back of the sunset
When the colors are splashed into place;
The breath-taking sight as you view it
Would show much splendor and grace.
I wish I could be free as a bird
And not care what the morrow may bring.
Still , we have to face life and its facts
But try not to dwell on things.
I'd like to see all the good things there are
And then see all of the bad;
I want to see happiness, peace, and joy,
As well as the down-hearted and sad.
I want to get caught up in life,
To see geople laugh and cry;
I'd like 'to share all their pain and grief,
Then maybe I'd understand "Why"
I wish I could comprehend it all ""'
What is life really all about?
It seems it's one great mystery,
With a lot of confusion and doubt.
I try to keep calm as I look ahead
And see what tomorrow may hold;
I walk straight forward, my head up high,
And try to show that I'm bold.
