Three Wishes

I just wish that Sunny California would stand and deliver more RAIN                                                                                                           As a friend and I were driving along a busy street, I said to him,

"It's been so long that I can't remember when it rained".                                                                                                           I was taken aback when he said to me, "May fourteenth".

That was some three months prior, but my friend remembered                                                                            when it last rained because he got wet on a busy boulevard

I wish for High-Speed Trains on the American passenger rails                                                                                           I once traveled from West to East 2000 miles on a slow-moving train

I returned 2000 miles West on a slow-moving train. 15 years later,                 I tracked the same route East on a slow-moving train. I took to the          

skies like a bird on my return, flying high on a fast-moving plane.                   I wish for MORE LOVE in the world and zero tolerance for hate.
