My Wish

I wish I were a silvery fish, twirling friskily, without care,

I wish I were a golden leaf, pirouetting daintily in the air,

I wish I were a butterfly, dancing gaily in the breeze,

I wish I were a tiny bird, nestled in the swaying trees.

I wish I were a fluffy cloud, moodily floating in the sky.

I wish I were a gleaming moon, peeping shyly from on high.

But If I could be in my mother’s arms, is my foremost wish;

 No satisfaction is more intense, no joy greater than this!
