I Wish

Like a sunshine

in the blue skies;

Shiny and warm—

through the mists;

Like a singing bird

in the morning;

Free and confident,

Voicing its rapture;

I want to wake up—

like the sunflowers,

Waving through the

slowly blowing wind;

Like a baby looking—

at its mother's face;

I want to feel loved,

And smile as I get up.

I wish I would sleep

peacefully at night

Before midnight; soft

and warm as a child,

So I could wake up—

in the morning light,

Stress-free in delight

as a tripping butterfly.
