in Connecticut
April 19th, 2002
I wish I was an eagle
To fly above to clouds
To soar above the grassy plains
And proclaim my joy aloud
I wish I was a birdy
To sing a joyful tune
To hop from single tree to tree
And build a nest till noon
I wish I was a ladybug
To bring good luck to all
To have them count the spots on me
Though it's hard becuase I'm small
I wish I was a maple leaf
High upon a noble tree
To turn green in the spring time
And then all could see me
I wish I was a baby
So cute and small and little
Adults would coo and smile at me
And never think I was bitter
But I am not I am a girl
So scrawny, tall, and diffrent
They point and laugh because of me
I wish they could be patient
