My Wish

When I close my eyes and make a wish, the wish I wish is always just this: Please, let my daughter grow up strong; Let her be safe and away from wrong; Let her laugh, let her play, and let her run; Let her find her moments in the sun; Let her know joy and be filled with glee; Let her see the pride that abounds in me; Let her know God and answer His call; Let her not from His graces fall; Let her grow in love and peace; Let her zest for life never cease; Let her beauty shine inside and out; Let her discover what life is all about; Let her find love and share in its desire; Let her have children to raise and admire; Let her find happiness in all that's around; Let her laughter be her one true sound; Let her serve well with all of her charms; Let her seek comfort in her Creator's arms; Let her find beauty in all that life offers; Let her be blessed with overfilled coffers; Let her grow old in a very graceful manner; Let her children carry on the family banner; Let her life be an example of God's true love; And let her fly away on the wings of a dove.
