The Greatest Christmas Wish

The Greatest Christmas Wish If I could have but one wish this season I should chose wisely and with good reason A wish to benfit all the world around Something substanial and profound A wish of some import, and wasted never Reaching deep inside and bringing forth what's forever I thought and thought, and then in flash it come to me A wish to set the whole world free I wish every soldier everywhere to stop Feel the great and the good, then your weapons just drop To your families go right now, they need you more To all the fighting and hate, just close that door To those who wish you to return Give your courage a turn "I say no! My family needs me here." "These are the ones I hold dear." I hope every soldier will say for "them" to hear "I will not fight, get maimed, or die for you, is that clear." "This is my life." "Here with my children and my wife."
