If I could be an animal,
I wonder what I'd be;
A lion or a grizzly bear,
Are tough and bold you see.

But maybe I should think again,
And be an Elk or Deer,
And have those awesome antlers on,
My head that all would cheer.

Or maybe on the other hand,
A wolf is what I'd be;
To live and be a member of,
The Pack's integrity.

But then I think of bunnies and,
Their coats so soft and warm,
But then I think of ears so big,
Out in a thunderstorm.

Perhaps I'd better stay the same,
And keep this Human form,
And live within the stucco walls,
And there be safe and warm.

Now as I've thought of all the things,
And forms that I could be,
I think I'll just be grateful for,
The form of me, I see.
