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.

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!
