Every bud hopes to be
A flower.
Every seed hopes to be
A tree.
Every stream hopes to be
A river.
Every lake hopes to be
A sea.
Every raindrop wants to
Be hail.
Every stone wants to be
A mountain.
Every wave wants to be
A tsunami.
Every breeze wants to be
A hurricane.
Every bug wants to be
A butterfly.
Every fly wants to be
A bee.
Even I take some time off
To wonder,
What would I wanna be?
??
Every asteroid wishes to be
The moon.
Poor thing ends up as
A meteor.
Every cat wishes to be
A lion.
Unlike its Cousin,
It can’t roar.
Every Kiwi wishes to be
A bird.
But sadly it can’t find
It’s wings.
Every fish wishes to snort like
A whale.
But it has Gills,
Not Nostrils.
So I may wish to be
Someone else.
Someone else I may wish
To be.
Someone perhaps greater or
Better than me,
Whom nature created
Differently.
Someone whom I may be
Related to
But has a different lifestyle
Totally.
Someone who has different rules
Of living,
Or someone who sets down and
Dies differently.
So,
I go change myself to resemble
His liking.
So,
I set forth and hamper
His and My Individuality,
When I can save
All the trouble,
When I can simply
Wish to be Me.
:)
