An Animal for a Day

<h1>An Animal for a Day</h1>Author: <a title="Ariana Cherry" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/ariana-cherry/46157.htm">Ariana Cherry</a> If I could be an animal for the day,

And sweep away the stress of the busy human way,

I might decide to be a graceful horse.

The beauty of the horse,

So grand with soft colorful coats of coarse hair.

And the way they gallop through the fields of land and flowers,

Without a care in the world.

A horse for the day, would be like a young innocent child,

Running carefree in the warm sunshine,

The brightness surrounding and sparkling on that precious coat of fine beauty.

Or perhaps I may decide to be a wild lazy alley cat.

And lounge in the tall hidden green grass,

Chase animals for a big mysterious adventure,

Or cuddle in a loving person's lap

Without a worry in sight.

Falling asleep in the cool evening night.

And then I could fly high up above in the deep blue skies.

Soaring beyond the clouds feeling free and nothing but the

Wind in my wings.

I wouldn't have to worry about keeping my feet on the ground,

Or where I was going.

I could fly beyond my destination, wherever the wind would take me...

There wouldn't be a certain time, or place.

It would just be a flight, going to wherever and whenever I may please.

There's something mysterious, yet something precious about these animals.

They don't experience that stress of the daily human.

Most just graze, play, run, and fly-

Why sometimes a human should take this wise advice to their own minds.

Take a moment to graze,

Or run about in a field nearby-

Feel the sunshine against your face.

And pretend, that just for a minute,

You might be one of these animals,

Just for a day. About the Author: Ariana R.

If I could be an animal for the day,
And sweep away the stress of the busy human way,
I might decide to be a graceful horse.
The beauty of the horse,
So grand with soft colorful coats of coarse hair.
And the way they gallop through the fields of land and flowers,
Without a care in the world.

Running carefree in the warm sunshine,
The brightness surrounding and sparkling on that precious coat of fine beauty.

Chase animals for a big mysterious adventure,
Or cuddle in a loving person's lap

Soaring beyond the clouds feeling free and nothing but the
