The Wish

A world of peace 
where happiness lives all around

True friendships grow and prosper
and hugs and handshakes are common place

I wish for love everlasting
where colors blend and smiles are contagious

Forgiveness is the key to acceptance
allowing for one's mistakes to be softened

I kneel here and I pray to a power stronger than us
that humans can learn to live with each other

My destiny has already been transcribed
a swirling darkness where water boils

But my mishap need not be subjected to your own fate
you can embrace the good path, the righteous

A world of peace
where happiness lives all around
