I Want the Best

I want the  best
that my life can have
I want happiness
sometimes rarely found

I want sunshine
to warm my skin
maybe a chance
to gain new friends

I want to learn
a few new things
and feel satisfaction
that victory brings

not much you say
do I want these days
but health and happiness
and a place to pray
