I wish I were a piece of opal

I wish I were a pair of figure skates

I wish I were a quaint and beautiful tiara

I wish I were a dragon all fiery and red

I wish I were a bluebird just nestled overhead

I wish I were the sunshine all beautiful with rays

I wish I were a hiking trail that runs about two ways

I wish I were a blue sky with birds all flying north

I wish I were a turkey with feathers blowing back and forth
