I find myself enchanted by
The way all days just seem to fly
How weeks and months now quickly pass
Like shadows in a looking glass.
I wish that I might halt the clock
And silence all of time’s tick-tock
Before my life does pass away
And I should lose my yesterday !
A child am I, quite innocent
My feelings clear, my heart content
One thing I’ve learned within my mind
Towards love and peace I am inclined.
I’ve seen the damage hate can do
I fear for those with anger too
The ways of God, simple and kind
Are all I ask and wish to find !
I am grown bold and chance to have the thought
To exit from this web in which I’m caught
A web spun of old thread and newer dreams
Escape’s not always easy as it seems !
At times I’m lost, deep in a trance
And searching for another glance
To prove that life will still advance
To some safe place one takes a stance
I’m wishing that this may enhance
The chances of our last romance !
There is a bird still sings to me
From way up high in God’s great tree
He sings so sweetly in the air
Sometimes I wish he weren’t there
Because he makes me think that I
Would follow him if I could fly
While birds were born to fly and sing
Both you and I wear God’s clipped wings !
I’d like to be a pachyderm with trunk so ever long
Or if I was a nightingale I’d woo you with my song
And if I were a camel I might cross the desert wide
But if I was a pony I could give each child a ride.
Now if I were a seagull I might fish upon the beach
Or if I were an eagle on a treetop I would screech
Yet if I were an owl I might just be the wisest bird
But most of all my wish is that each prayer I’ve said is heard !
Sometimes I wish that I could fly
Above the sadness that I spy
Into the safety of the sea
To swim with mermaids and live free .
Across the world I’d sail inside
A fairy ship that travels wide
On ocean waves while sea nymphs sing
And bid me smile remembering .
