I said, "I'd love to fly with you
And sail around the way you do
It looks like it would be just fun
To fly up towards the summer sun.
But I have not your graceful charm;
I haven't wings - just these two arms
I've been designed to walk around
My human feet must touch the ground.
Then magically, it spoke to me
and told me what it's wish would be.
It said, 'What I'd love most to do
Is walk upon God's Earth with you
To squish it's mud between my toes
Or touch a finger to my nose.
I'd love just once to walk around
With human feet to touch the ground
But I have not two legs that swing
I haven't arms, just these two wings.'"
And so we went our separate ways
In wonder and surpise
For we'd both seen God's precious gifts
Through each other's eyes.
