If I Had One Wish

If I had one wish
it would be for all the citizens of this spinning planet to be happy
each satisfied with who they are
where they are
and how they are-

My one wish would radiate out into the ethers
and surround our fragile planet with ethereal love
and hold our earth in tender hands
while
it's citizens come into a rebirth of happiness

So many people seem to be much less happier than they might be
for so very many reasons
some understandable
some not so much
and again, if I had but one wish from my heart
it would be happiness
for all.

A good thing to wish for. Making the world a better, happier place should be a top priority of all politicians. However, with a staggering two-thirds of the world underfed, we are a long way off achieving anything close. A noble wish, and we can but hope. Regards, Robert.
