Poem
On a distant shore far away I stumble on a bottle in the sand Opened it up and free a genie Three wishes I have at my command I wished for fame and fortune Living a life fit for the divine But I hold on to that third wish The wish you would be mine What good is your sweet heart If my love it does not feel What good is your love If by a wish it is not real With gifts and offerings of love I try each day to persuade But my patience becomes impatient For you turn each one away, away The genie grows weary my time is thin Soon my third wish will expire On my knees I pour out my heart But you just don't share the desire Alone with the world at my feet I have it all but remain unfulfilled The longing for your love Tempts the third wish to deal Mr. Genie appears before me He shakes his head and sighs It is time to use the third wish Ask it now to be realized Wish one was for fame The world you entertain Wish two was for fortune Treasures a hundred lifetimes can sustain Wish three what will it be The Third Wish you must decide I closed my eyes and opened my heart Am I too selfish to be denied The world is in love with my smiling face Fame and fortune is way too much fun And now I have you forever by my side Hey wishes aren't meant for the dumb
