Be Careful What You Wish For

Throughout life we love to wish
many things fills our heart
thinking and dreaming of what could be
never satisfied whatever our art

Whatever we wish for may happen
you never know what'll come to pass
sometimes your wish may come true
but at times it won't for you alas

If it was to happen for you
you may live to regret it
whatever you wanted to be
for it may not be your fit

Sometimes a person comes to you
who you think they are great
but they can take over you
which leaves you in a worse state

So be very careful what you wish
for it might not be for your best
let providence take it's course
as it usually passes the test
