hugging tree

*Sometimes I wish of so many things not knowing that by doing so, the spikes would stab my every being.Yet we know we rather got stabbed than stay put and give up the thought to hug the cactus.

The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"
The tree said, "I wish I could be a different kind of tree,"
The cat wished that it was a bee.
The turtle wished that it could fly, really high into the sky,
Over rooftops and then dive deep into the sea.
And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus with a pink flower on it
And the flower would be its offering of love to the desert.
And the desert so dry and lonely, that the creatures all appreciate the effort.
And the rattlesnake said,"I wish I had hands, so I could hug you like a man."
And then the cactus said,"Don't you understand?"
My skin is covered with sharp spikes, that'll stab you like a thousand knives.
A hug would be nice,but hug my flower with your eyes.
