I wish I was.

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
