SHE WISHED

She wished that she could be a star...

but her wish was over soon

“Why be a star?” She wondered.

“When she could be the moon?”

But the moon spends all her time in darkness

that wouldn’t be very much fun

so she no longer wanted to be the moon

she’d rather be the sun!

But the sun is bright and hot all the time...

with no air conditioning…so she vowed,

she no longer wanted to be the sun

she would rather be a cloud.

But clouds do not control their flight

as they soar across the sky

then she wondered to herself,

if that’s the reason why clouds cry...

As she stood their wishing she could be

the wind, the flowers or the sea

she thought to herself…how none of these

could ever wish that they were me.

She concluded she must be pretty special,

to be able to dream the way she does

so she made one final wish that night

to be exactly who she was.
