I wish I were...

This might seem the very old and familiar topic to write in a standard 5 English exam, nevertheless, dreams and aspirations never die out. Not even at the age of 3, nor at 21. So here is my I wish I were..., dedicated to the ones who've helped me travel this journey called life!

I wish I were a butterfly,
Soaring in the air, up and high,
Hopping free with each breeze,
These moments I'd long to seize.

I wish I were a turtle,
Could do without a pipe to snorkel,
Lethargy so intense to govern my life,
Where time is plenty and happiness, rife.

I wish I were a ladybird,
Colored red on yellow, unheard,
Beating the sunflower in glow,
Absorbing life, in sips, slow.

I wish I were...me,
But thats not happening to be,
'Coz I am me right now,
To all who made me me, I bow!
