I am What I am…I can not be What I wish to Be…

By Aljan (Sam) Copyright 2006—Forever

To perk an ear to the soft touch of the wind

To feel the soft grass beneath me

To let out a sigh of satisfaction

They are things I wish to do

I wish I could smell what I can’t small with senses that I do not have

I wish I could love the way I do not love

I wish to dance and leap with joy and happiness

They are things I long to do

Many a day have I longed to taste what I do not taste

Long do I to tease and play with kin that are not my kin

I do long to raise a voice that I do not have to the voice of the kin who are not my kin

These are things…that I can not do for I am human

No senses do I have that help me in the wild

Nor do I have the padded foot that gives speed and agility

I do not have the voice or the ear to sing or listen to do what I wish to do

I am human…not a wolf
