My Wishes

My wishes; my wishes!
Oh, what are my wishes?
So many to wish on a star!
Love and peace on this earth.
That no children would starve.
Most obvious these choices are.

But let me be greedy
and tell what I’d wish for
if wishes were granted to me.
I’d wish for a new car -
a beauty and sporty.
A sweet ride like Lamborghini.

I’ll now make this simple.
Why wish for each item
when money can get me most stuff?
I'd wish that no matter
the things that I wanted,
my cash would be always enough!

So that is my big wish.
I guess you might say
be blessed with Bill Gates type of wealth.
But for now in my life
I have only one wish -
completely regaining good health!

Health is the greatest thing in the world, Andrea. I did not appreciate that until I started to lose mine. It's amazing how much it means now. Thank you for writing this one!
