Alterations

If I could alter my body
There are many things I could be

On hot humid day a shady tree
Or a natural spring sparkling and cool

A pink rosebush in full bloom
To tease the nose and expel the gloom

A peaceful night and long
Serenaded by a night-in-gales song

Vision for the blind, strength for the weak
A voice for those who cannot speak

A quite place for the tired and weary
A peal of laughter from the joy of the merry

An eraser of wars, a healer of minds
A kettle of kindness for those unkind

A shield for the embryo, earth, air and sea
Shelter for the homeless Id even be

If I could change my form and then
Return to me
