If I Could Have Three Wishes...

If I could have three wishes I wonder what they'd be,
If I could wish for anything and it be given to me.
I could be an astronaut, flying into space,
Or be a driver in a NASCAR race.
I could be a super hero, flying to save the day.
(Or I could have a jet pack and fly around anyway.)
I could wish for power, I could wish for fame,
Or a cool car or my own private plane.
I could be the strongest man alive, the smartest too.
Oh the things I could wish for, so many to choose!
I could lead the country as the U.S. president,
But have people follow me everywhere I went.
I could be a lion, eagle, shark or a bear.
I could be anything, go anywhere.
I could be a kid again, where all my life's a game.
I could climb Mt. Everest or walk the Moon's plains.
I could have all these things, and a lot more too.
If I just said the words "I wish" then they could come true!
So many wishes to make, I can't take it anymore!
I know my first wish: I wish I knew what to wish for!

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
