Oh I wish I had tight little feet, <br />Could beat out a song on the rug <br />And thin as a sylph, <br />Eyes bright like a dove- <br />Spaced wide apart, like a classical beauty/ <br /> <br />Wish I could sing like the nightingale, <br />Never say the wrong word, <br />Always say the right- <br />A riot at parties, <br />Friends that last through the night/ <br /> <br />Imaginations fine; such a happy place to be, <br />But it doesn't cut it in history; <br />I've got to be myself- <br />Whether win or lose- <br />Cause nobody else could ever be me/ <br /> <br />(But sometimes you know <br />I really do wish I could fly..) <br /> <br />(written to Cold Place by niha)<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-wish-for-flying/
