Three Wishes

Three wishes granted me – my first would be that I’d not show, especially on my face, my aging! How I hate the lines and sag. I’d wish to stop them ever taking place. The second wish I’d make is for one thing more necessary than impressive wealth. If I might have it also for the ones I love, I’d wish for all of us good health! Wish three is what I think most people want - to have a life of peace and happiness. If all the world could have it too, I’d say forget my first wish. I’ll take one wish less!
