If I Could

If I could become
Anything in the world
I think I would be a tree;
Strong and steady
Although I may get tired
Of asking the birds to leave;

If I could grow up to be
Anything I wanted
I would be a soldier;
Hard working and true
Even if it means
Risking my life;

If I could do
Anything I desired
I would help everyone;
Lost or found
No matter the challenges
I will inevitably face;

If I could say
Anything I wished
I would tell you;
All my secrets
Despite that in the end
You may no longer care...
