To Be a Fly

For NaPoWriMo today, I followed the prompt to write a poem where the speaker talks about wanting to be something else and explains why. 

To Be a Fly
By Candace Shultz

To be a fly?
Oh no, not I,
but yet,
maybe,
for a moment,
if just to say hello
to my Grandpa
who once said,
when I die
I will return as a fly.
For him,
to talk to him,
even for a short time,
I would be a fly.
