Just One Day

I want to be Cinderella
For just one day
Live in an enchanted castle
And dance the night away.

I want to feel lucky
For just one day
Buy a lotto ticket
And win the big play.

I want to visit Belize
For just one day
Dive into the ocean
And watch the dolphins play.

I want to listen
For just one day
Spend time with my children
And really hear what they say.

I want to completely stop
For just one day
Enjoy life’s treasures
And take time to pray.

I want to be an angel
For just one day
Bring someone a blessing
Then mysteriously slip away.

I want to be a writer
For just one day
Touch someone’s heart
In an extraordinary way.

I want to soar like an eagle
For just one day
An icon of freedom
Inspiring the American way.
