Linked with the Squirrely Tale

Ponder a squirrel who is

Eager to be a bird, thus

Tempted to give up a part of himself

Enough to accept a dragonfly’s magic while

Yearning to be like his best bird friends.

Watching their joyous freedom in the

Air as they swoop and sing, Petey is

Nudged to be like them.

This compels him, as many of us at times, to

Sacrifice part of himself, to be something else.

Petey W A N T S a wish. ©Illustration...
