Three Wishes...

If I could have three wishes, I know just what they’d be;
It wouldn’t be things of material, cause lets face it, that’s just not me;

My first wish would be, for my family to get along;
No more of this he said she said, nobody is right and nobody is wrong;

My second wish would have to be, for all of us to keep hope; 
I know we are all having trouble, but there’s no reason not to cope;

My third wish, for understanding, no one seems even to try;
And I can’t help but look around me and in my mind wonder why;

See I’m not a greedy person, I don’t want to spend it all on me;
So if there is a genie out there, somewhere, I hope that you hear my plea!

Well said Tirzah, you are pretty good with all them couplets you post. Couplets are my fav. when it comes to reading. Enjoyed your 3 wishes.. I think i did one my self.. I guess you can say i am not greedy myself.. I wished for things almost similar. Darn i should have wished for money or so.. ha ha ha ha.. but me and my sis had a fight so i had to dedicate mine to her. Enjoyed your poem, and thoughts of your wishes. Have a good one,..p.d.
