I wonder...

I wonder...

A Poem by Elsie

As I look out upon the field of wheat

I wonder how it would be to feel the wind

Softly blowing through my hair

Having nothing to worry about

No place to be

When the sun hits us just right we look like gold

Just swaying back and fourth


I wonder what it would be like to be the largest bird

Soaring through the air

Taking everything around me

Taking my time to grab my prey

Having people look at me in aw

How graceful I could be


I wonder what it would be like to be a wolf

Having a pack that looks after each other

Knowing where you stand in the pack

Not having to worry about anything

Only have to follow the laws of the pack

Listening to the Alpha wolves

How great would that be


What would it be like to be a horse

Being able to be care free

Grazing on the grass

Taking my time everywhere I go

Being cared for by humans


What would it be like to be prey

Knowing you're being hunted down

All the thoughts racing through your mind

Thinking on the best way to escape


I wonder what it would be like to be a Grizzly Bear

No way to be prey by the wild animals

Wondering around at my own pace

Sleeping through the long winters

Not having to follow anyone's rules


I wonder what it would be like to be a human

Who lives off the land

Never taking more than I need

Using everything  I get

Never letting anything go to waste

Respecting mother nature the way it should be


What would the world be like without any laws

The crimes being over the top

People afraid to leave their homes

Not wanting to bring children into the world

The body count going up by millions and billions

Who would want to live in a world like that


What would it be like to never have wars again

Everyone working together for the common good

No one is higher on the line of progress then another

If one person makes progress then we all do

If on person struggles then we all struggle


What would it be like to never feel pain 

To always feel good

To feel sad only when someone (including pets) pass away

To be able to do everything you ever dreamed of doing


What would it be like to be immortal

To never have to die again

Being able to see the whole world

Doing anything and everything we want to do

Never having to worry about not finishing your bucket list


I wonder who would ever be willing to have this happen

Since over time we would run out of resources

We would get board over time of seeing everything

Some might wish for death

That making one simple wish might end up

With millions and billions of people upset


We need to face it head first

The differences in our lives help keep us going forward

Keeps us want to get more

It drives us to work harder

To reach our goals
