Index Author's Note:
Someone I knew was searching for an Mrs. degree. I gave
her a poem instead.
If I could fly like an Angel
If I could sing like a bird
If I could
travel to far distant lands
If I could then I would
Up to the edge of the forest
To the horizon and then
To the next and
the next one
'Till my queries all were fed
I'd land to sample the people
Their customs, their thoughts and their
ways
I'd stay long enough to be sad to leave
But I'd leave then all the
same
For never would I tire
For always there would be
Someone new for me to
know
Somewhere far from me
Never would I settle
And never would I say
I'd rather stay would you,
Love
And say farewell to wings
For always would I one day fly
My Freedom I would keep
And collect
experiences and memories
In my eternal reap
I'd watch the fall of empire
and savor successful dreams
And witness
triumphs and pains
Of mortals one by one
For if I were an Angel
And if I'd understood
I never would have
traded
My Freedom, Love, for You
