I Wish

I wish to live as certain as a bird Like I wish to stand on my own feet as firm as a tree I wish to sing as soft as a breeze Like I wish to dance as graceful as the swaying leaves I wish to be cheerful as pretty as a rose Like I wish to grow old as age as the mother earth I wish to be strong as tough as the ocean waves Like I wish to smile as hopeful as the sunrise I wish to love as gentle as the baby’s hand Like I wish to cry as hard as the pouring rain I wish to forgive as sincere as God Like I wish to forget miseries as fast as the hurricane I wish to strive as determined as a vow Like I wish to dream as free as a cloud Yes, I wish I wish
