Oh little me

Watercolor deer spirit with antlers transforming into trees, mountains, and a winding river

Oh little bird
soaring through the sky.
What I would give
to spread my wings and fly with you.

Oh little fox
with your family so close.
What I would give
to snuggle up in the den with you.

Oh little deer
springing through the woods.
What I would give
to run the forest with you.

Oh little tree
with your limbs open wide.
What I would give
to stand and cast shade with you.

Oh little mountain
looking out over the world.
What I would give
to tower and watch over it with you.

Oh little me
longing to be.
What they would give
to grow into what they can be.

– Ralston Drake
