I wish I were…

a poem by Priyavrat Thareja

I wish I were a Diamond,
which is very rare.
Not a Stone,
which is found everywhere.
I wish I were a Rose,
which is very beautiful.
Not a Jasmine,
which gives only smell.
I wish I were a Cuckoo,
which sings very sweetly.
Not a Crow,
which sings very coarsely.
I wish I were a Soldier,
who protects his country.
Not a Traitor,
who betrays his country.
