My Three Wishes

If I had three wishes that could be made true,
I can tell you without thinking 
what I would like to do.
My little friend Kate’s just five and has cancer,
could you touch her and heal her please,
She’s fighting really hard, but she’s getting really tired.
I would ask for peace, no more war,
let our soldiers all come home,
for they’ve fought a long hard battle, and 
their so far from their families.
Lastly I would ask that all the missing children
would be found, so they and their parents
could finally lay to rest in peace,
knowing where they are sleeping.
