Wishful pleas

If my heart had a pair of wings,

I’d fly to where the bluebird sings

of things too pretty to behold

and remain there a thousandfold.

If my soul knew how to swim,

I’d swim to where my tears grew dim

and there I’d stay a thousand years

till I’ve outgrown my sorrowed fears.

If I had but a moment still,

I’d stop myself to heed your will.

I’d spend my whole day long with you

and do the things you wished me to.

But day no longer sees your face,

night lacks your comfortable embrace,

for you have left eternally

to leave me here with wishful plea.
