One Wish By Kenny Davis

One Wish by Kenny Davis I used to think, “If I had one wish….” “I would wish to change the past.” To take charge of many missed opportunities Allowing the blessing of every moment to last Instead of the allowing Of such a dream to pass me by Foolishly allowing the very fabric Of my dreams and wishes to die I used to think, “If I had one wish….” “I would wish to revive the dead.” To be able to rekindle the bond with loved ones To express feelings that was left unsaid I used to think, “If I had one wish….” “I would wish to go back home.” Back to the family and friends I once loved Never having to live my life alone I used to think, “If I had one wish….” “I would truly wish for world peace.” Putting all of the battles and wars to an end Reviving the love, causing all of the hate to cease I used to think, “If I had one wish…” “I would wish for true love.” Much like that of God and his angels That which can only come from above Little did I realize that in the times Of all of my hoping and wishing That all of them have been answered Because it was you, my life was missing You blessed me with another opportunity That I refuse to miss not one time more No longer nervous to turn the knob But instead opening the door An opportunity to relive a dream Of you in my tender arms, me lost deep within your eyes A truly tender moment between us Leading to only tears of happiness cries With you I revived the dead Breathed life into a love for you I thought was dead long ago Allowing the very pure essence of who you are To pierce my soul, allowing the blood to flow I wished for World peace You are my world, which gives me peace My freedom from the many of this world’s troubles My pinnacle of refuge, my sanctuary, my release I wished for true love God brought me the gift of you Lord, is what I feel for this woman real? Is the heartache finally over? Could this be true? I wished for my heart to be saved And God indeed sent me an answer For you, the light of my world He sent to cure my loveless cancer All I ever wished for Has truly been in my life all along I never knew my heart could beat this way for you This healthy, this fast, this much, or this strong Through all of my wishing and hoping All of my praying and stressing I almost missed out And completely overlooked my blessing You are truly all I have been wishing All I could ever hope for My diamond, my treasure My most beautiful angel here on earth © February 2011 k.davis
