The Genie in a bottle Granted me these wishes three For unleashing the cork That set his spirit free Awhile I thought and pondered What will my first wish be I said ...The ability to fly He said...That's one of wishes three The next on my agenda Was wealth and luxury I said...Surround me with riches He said...That's two of wishes three The final thing I asked...

Careful What You Wish For
When I was a young child I wanted everything that was in sight I was so reckless and wild but I didn't even notice my own plight I saw what wasn't really there and to what was there I was blind To be honest I just didn't care and would usually end up in a bind I used to...

CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR They met by chance one lonely night Each sending out a spark of light Hoping it would start a flame Underneath their cloud of rain Picking their hearts up off the floor Be careful what you wish for They spent time together hand and hand Talking deep and making plans Walking on the same side of the...

Be Careful What You Wish For
Last night I got a call. - The fall is coming. The moon is getting brighter, bigger. Air is getting sweeter, full of magic. Star dust is sprinkling from the sky and even pill popping ghosts are growing wings. Knit me a dress from the evening fog and watch me shimmer in a dim light of street lamps. Back home wrap a blanket...

Careful What You Wish For Spell
Bubble bubble toil and trouble, Everything you've done you'll get back double. Eye of newt, Rat's decay, good and bad, in every way. Wing of bat and tongue of frog, The things you despise will become a fog. Slime of toad, venom of snake and skin, what you desire most shall be awakened. Goblin's ear and witch's kiss Be careful what you wish. fore with...

Doing as I please, now that's a wish, a wish that most people have, a wish, you have, when everyone wants your time and makes you mad. But, time goes by, folks disappear, and you miss those hectic days when children, husband, mothers grasped and wouldn’t let you play. Days go by, weeks and months too of doing just as you please and...

Careful What You Wish For
The wish that you wished for upon a bright star Same wish that would stay Locked inside a glass jar. Carrying around and peering right through it Dying to capture that wish you were'nt born with. Behooved you no longer grasp onto that wish For you now see in Life it's your source of anguish. Committing yourself Lends beginnings anew Releasing dead wishes...
