I wish I could ...

The June 14, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
"I wish I could .... "(please fill in the rest)

I wish I could fly like an angel,
with my white wing glistening in the sun;
I wish I could breathe like an angel,
who can create oxygen in their own lungs,
I would ascend into to interstellar space
and chase a few commits for fun.

I wish I could dance like a leprechaun,
creating gold with my unique Irish jig
I would scatter the gold across the planet
so that no one knew where it came from.

I wish I could ...
brings back a memory from my childhood
of seeing the first star in the sky
and my mother ...
or was it my grandmother ...
teaching me this magical rhyme:

"Star light, Star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight..."

I wish I could sow like Betsy Ross,
I would create a flag for the Earth
that reflected the beauty of the planet
and encouraged humanity's unity.

I wish I could write all my thoughts
without using mechanically means,
I would write all my poems in the clouds
so that the birds could recite them for humanity.

Thought of the Day: "Poetry has been to me its own exceeding great reward; it has given me the habit of wishing to discover the good and beautiful in all that meets and surrounds me." - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
