I Wish, Imagine, What If

I wish I were a rose
My petals I easily dispose
The ones that no longer brings
Loving fancy to all my whims
And keep the parts I love and adore 
Asking of life for nothing more
Stretch myself toward the light
Feeling gay and beautifully bright
And underneath the radiant sun
I glow a brilliance of dazzling haze 
Living life in a wonderful way 
Embracing and chasing incredible days.

Imagine if I were to become a tree 
Experiencing life how I want it to be 
Steady with my earthly family
A gentle sway on a windy day 
Never being led astray
Always rooted in the ground
Where I can be relied on to be found 
Powerfully being in my life 
Everything always going alright 
Love and energy from the sunlight 
Living a grand life dignified
All the days and all the nights.

What if I were a bird
Above the Earth I play and pert 
Flying freely from my perch
And when I am in flight
Never losing sight of where it is I land 
Life is lived so very grand
Unrestrained always in a joyful way 
Excitedly living come what may 
Singing gaily with all my friends
So honest and true with no pretend 
Rain or hail I remain strong
To mother nature I belong
I flitter about always in song
Carefree happily I wonder along.
