Three Wishes

Standing by the wishing well,
A silver dollar in my hand.
Made my wish and dropped it in,
Out popped a golden wedding band.

I slipped the ring on my finger,
And tossed another dollar in.
No sooner that it hit the water,
There you stood with a shining grin.

Third coin I made my final wish,
Then my heart began to sing.
You wore a silken gown of white,
And on your hand a diamond ring.

Brother Daniel, me neither. I'm 61 and never married. Its probably why I don't look my age. I just wanted to appeal to romantic side of the women out there. I noticed by your photo that we have the same barber and chin hair color. Maybe we're related. Thanks for the feedback.

This is cute and original, Randy. Give me three wishes and a wife would not be one of them. LOL
