Three Wishes

Three wishes

I’ve been granted several wishes
Well actually just three
The first I’d use for happiness
For every one I see

Eliminating all the frowns
Disposing of the hate
The second I would use for health
So illness I’d negate

The third one is a special wish
And this is what I’d do
I’d use it to take all my love
And send it out to you
