Be Careful

Be careful what you wish for even as a little girl When prayers are sent out they are heard With a heart of gold behind every word The answers will come to the questions you ask Even if they are from a distant past Maybe not now but in years or weeks You will end up getting what you seek Your wishes will change as you grow older Reality sets in and hearts grow colder Once you see that you have the favor of the powers that be Youll wonder if youll ever be free Of the life and dream you so desperately wanted How will you wield the responsibilty Without leaving a trail of the broken hearted?
