Three Wishes
A bottle was floating in front of my eyes
And drifted ashore from the sea.
I gazed in amazement when to my surprise
The message enclosed was to me!
I'd been on the island for twenty-one years
All hope of escape had grown thin.
On reading the note my eyes glistened with tears,
Three wishes were granted within.
How long I had prayed isolation would cease,
Yet clear was the choice I must make;
I wished that the world might know love, hope and peace
Then prayed that my heart would not break.
