I Should Like To Be

I Should Like To Be

I should like to be a fairy and float amongst the trees 

Sprinkling shimmers of faerie dust, your pain and fears to ease

I should like to be an angel and glide about unseen 

I would whisper softly to help you through, a murmur in the breeze

I should like to be a butterfly, delicate wings beat in the sky

A short lived flash of beauty, to brighten up your day

But if I cannot a faerie or an angel or a butterfly be,

I'll be just me, not perfect, but my best I always try.
