That I Should Have a Soul

What went wrong with the plan That I should be here? A rare miscalculation, a muddle and confusion That I was meant to be. Did your attention drift to give me the Blessed curse of life and choice? A dog perhaps, dragonfly, or book, A shrub or stream I should be. Do you know by now the mistake you made That I should have a soul?
