Sometimes I Wonder
Sometimes I wonder what it’d be like to be a bird…
to sing a morning song
to spread my wings and fly
high above the treetops…
to soar across the sky.
Sometimes I wonder what it’d be like to be a river otter
to swim and dive and spin all day playing in and out the water.
Sometimes I wonder what it’d be like to be an elephant
to use my trunk just like a hand
To…at the same time be the strongest…
and gentlest creature on the land
Sometimes I wonder what it’d be like to be a dolphin
think of all the places I would roam…
if I could swim as fast as they can
if the ocean was why home…
So many different animals
I wonder what they’d be like to be….
and I wonder…
if they ever wonder…
what it would be like..
to be me.
