Wishes 10

If I had 10 wishes I would use them this way Homes for the homeless So they will have somewhere to stay Supply food to the hungry Where constant sun hits the land. They also need water Because their soil is all sand. To the countries at war I send them peace. Cos to live by the gun Is not at all nice. To the barren countries With no birdsong to hear, I send them music To help bring them some cheer A wish to say many thanks To the carers that care. So people can stay at home Find their independence there. Wish for love for the sad ones So their hearts will be raised A hug for the sufferers So their pain will be eased To the poets on poetrysoup I give them the fame Of people seeing their poems People knowing your name. The last wish if you don't mind I will keep for myself So I can ask God Please don't let me be left on the shelf.

In my store of emotions I remember vodka on the shelf, but I didn't see you there lol. A humble list indeed. Nice poem Seren.

Hello PD, Hope is one thing we have an abundance of, without it life would be very negative. Seren

Seren, What a lovely humble poem in your wishes for others less fortunate and for those infirm and needing help. This would make a wonderful poem to share with children in schools because they need lessons like this to help them grow into caring adults. A person could not write a poem like this unless they posess these qualities themselves. You honor all with this lovely poem!
