I Wish... Poem by poulami ghosh

I wish to be a bird
To soar all above into the limitless sky
Or a Grass?
Which takes care of the foot of the little child?
Or a tree?
To become a shelter for all lives
Or a tiny pebble
To smile under the bright sunlight
Or a fire?
To burn all the sins on earth
Or rain?
To pour on those who are in pain
But when I look at myself
My eyes sparkle with pride
As the mirror tells me, "why do you need to be somebody?
When you yourself shine so bright
Treasure what you are and treasure what you have
Be the brightest star of your sky".
