Grandiose Wishes
I wish I could capture today
A pocketful of azure skies,
As I stroll through this scenic way,
Store it with photographic eyes,
And present it as a surprise;
I wish to collect in my hand,
Little trinkets of sunshine bright,
And gather those sunny pearls grand,
Scattered on the lake in dawn’s light,
Then none need be scared of the night;
I wish to hold a rainbow small,
Bottle some lightning and thunder,
I wish and wish somehow to ball
Some spongy cloud, and then plunder
A bit of moon's magic wonder;
I wish to store a jar of breeze,
Aurora's kiss of freshness sweet,
The scent of fresh flowers to freeze,
A glass of dew would be a treat;
If I achieve these, what a feat!
