He climbed up the trees, with a heart full of hope,
Attempting to fly, just searching for scope.
But down he would tumble with quite a loud thud,
Bruises and disappointments, he’d find in the mud.
Disappointment would linger, but still he'd aspire,
Chasing the clouds with his heart full of fire.
Until one fine day, as he sat by a brook,
He met a sly snake, with a curious look.
“I dream of nice legs, oh to dance and to prance,
To walk on the ground, give the world a good chance!”
The dog blinked in shock, "What a strange wish to crave,
What you want is so simple, yet it’s what I rave!”
“Why chase the clouds when the ground holds its grace?
Your paws are a gift, they’d win any race!
While I slither and slide, you can run wild and free,
Embrace what you have, don’t wish to be me!”
The dog paused for a moment, his head tilted to think,
With every step taken, his heart gave a wink.
He danced through the meadows, he leaped over logs,
His joy filled the air, as he played with the frogs.
“Flying may be fun,” he barked with a spin,
“But walking and running let the true joy begin!
I’ll chase all the butterflies, bark at the moon,
With each happy step, my heart sings a tune.”
Stirred by the snake’s words, he thought of his fate,
The dog valued his paws, his own sturdy gait.
For while he could not fly, he'd run and he'd play,
Chasing his tail in the sun's golden ray.
He ran through the meadows, with joy in his soul,
A dog with a spirit that learned to feel whole.
For flying or walking, each dream has its place,
In the heart of a dog, or a snake's gentle grace.
The dog thanked the snake, for the lesson he'd learned,
To cherish each moment, for which he had yearned.
For in every bound, in each leap and each stroll,
He'd honor his treasure that carried his soul.
If you feel lost, remember this rhyme,
Dreams take many shapes, that’s just part of the climb.
Value who you are, and don’t ever despair;
Like a dog or a snake, there's magic to share!
