An Old Poem Recalled - What does it mean?

Someday I hope to be
A person that is living
Have a soul that is free
And in the sky be flying.

Today I am mellow
The sky is a crisp blue
There is a bold fellow
Who of the world has a clue.

This fellow I hope to meet
Take a stroll in the park
See the path tread by his feet
And ask him for an ark.

I want him to save me
Truth shall be told
My protector is he
Who of the heart keeps hold.
