If Only
September 13, 2018
If only the sun were cold
Still bright and beautiful
The sun gives us hope
It lights up the day
If the sun were cold
I would go touch it
And be the star the world wants and needs to see
If only leaves could fly
Be independent
And not have to worry about being lifted or smushed
By people on the streets
If only the could be free of their tree
And go wherever they want to be
I would like to be a leaf
Fly in the wind
If only I could be a fish
And explore the depths of the sea
Not letting anything holding me back
And after I accomplished my goal
Be with the school of other fish
Always being lifted by the tides
And of what I had done
If only
