Three Wishes

Three Wishes

If I Could Have Three Wishes,
I Wonder What They'd Be?
Would I Have the Wisdom, 
To Not Think Just of Me?

It May Not Be a Good Thing,
To Be Given Something Free.
It Would Lose It's Value,
But That Is Hard to See.

I Could Ask for Money,
But What Would it Be Worth?
I Couldn't Take it with Me,
When I Have to Leave this Earth.

But There Are Three Things,
That I'd like to Call Just Mine.
Love and Happiness Are Two,
The Other...Peace of Mind.

I'd Have All I Could Wish For,
If I Just Had These Three.
Then I Could Be of Help to Others
And Not Be Thinking Just of Me.
