What if I could be
Everything that I can touch or see,
Or make up with my clearest mind,
Or in my dizziest dream?
I could be the highest mountain,
Or the boundless sea,
The world would be my oyster,
And the oyster would be me!!!
The countless twinkling stars that shine,
Anyone or all would be mine!
What if I could imbibe,
All the traits that make them special?
Could I learn that,
At least on some level?
From a diamond, I'd get its endurance,
But I'd value more its rarity,
From the bright sunshine,
I'd take its warmth,
And even more its clarity...
I'd like to be as delicate,
As a dew-covered rose petal,
And shining and so dear,
Like a precious metal,
I'd like to be as tough as nails,
With a mother's gentle touch,
All I want is everything,
Am I asking for too much??
