Three Wishes

If I had three wishes and knew that they’d come true. I’d go back in time. There are things that I’d redo. I wouldn’t do them differently and change my today. I would do them over again, in the very same way. To hear my mother laughing, see my dad’s twinkling eyes, hold my now-grown children when they were infant-size, kiss my handsome groom again on our wedding day, or sit in our old sandbox and with my siblings play. If I had three wishes, I’d travel through the past to do again my favorite things to make the memories last. Thank you for the wishes! That’s what I would do. But I only need the one. You can keep the other two. Date: October 24, 2018 Three Wishes Premier Poetry Contest Sponsor: Kevin Shaw ~2nd place 520 Standard Contest, any form Sponsor: Brian Strand a 1st place

I love it that you want to go back and re-live so many terrific moments, but you are not changing anything, and you are unselfishly giving back two of the three wishes. Well done P.S. Outstanding!
