Release


I wish I were          
a butterfly with a brief life of beauty.



I wish I were
a cloud floating in an endless sky.



I wish I were
a tree standing tall and strong.

I wish I were
Flower of great color and fragrance.



I wish I were
a lush lawn of grass keeping the parched earth cooled.



I wish I were
a great ocean rolling into never never land.



I wish I were
an enormous mountain reaching into the wild blue yonder.



But I am not any of these things.
I am a lowly human with deficits, weaknesses and trying times.
But I am also God's child and He is my loving Father.
I have no need to be anything more.
