Three Needed Wishes
Three Needed Wishes
Genie in the bottle, it is time that you awake.
Three wishes that you have granted me, I shall not forsake.
First, make me physically healthy, free from every ache.
It would feel great to be alive without pain, headache, or backache.
And after I am physically fit, I shall think of my mind's sake.
My second wish is for mental health, living free from misery's wake.
Stabilized thoughts and focuses to make me strong, not a fruitcake -
Please grant uplifted mental health, my future is at stake.
The final wish I pray today is to be spiritually healthy.
Vigorously seeking with all my strength, light from my Lord.
Knowing that by choosing right, with joy I shall be wealthy.
Spiritual health will bless my life through faith, bringing great accord.
Granted wishes you have offered; my dreams are soaring high.
New life with health, strength, and wisdom take me to Heaven's sky.
