My wish is...


"One day, little Timmy saw a beautiful butterfly. In its silken wings, it carried every color imaginable. The colors radiated in his eyes as he approached the beautiful creature.
He took off his baseball cap, bowed, and said. I love you and honor your greatness.
The butterfly, in turn, fluttered its wings and said. You are kind and compassionate so I offer you a wish.
Little Timmy jumped for joy with the prospect of a wish. He sat on a rock and pondering when suddenly he jumped up. "I got it I got it. My wish is…….."

from now on, on every winter to snow with stars
and sugar candies, said happy little, Timmy
I want a world with no more wars,
and all the kids to be like you, so pretty,
to have beautiful colors on our skin,
and to be able all to fly,
I want a world without sin,
I want forever just blue sky.

Stop, stop, I told you just one wish,
The smiling butterfly said,
Then, just to be like you, I guess
said Timmy, turning in his bed,
and he woke-up from his mysterious dream,
looking around for butterflies and stars,
they disappeared in the night, it seems,
Outside, just people walking in the snow and... cars.

Early in the morning, Timmy went to school
thinking of his dream and wish,
He stopped a minute by the neighbor's pool
Where he saw a beautiful creature, a multicolored fish.

He took off his baseball cap, bowed, and said. I love you and honor your greatness.
The fish, in turn, jumped with joy and said. You are kind and compassionate so I offer you a wish.
Little Timmy jumped for joy with the prospect of a wish. He sat on a rock and pondering when suddenly he jumped up. "I got it I got it. My wish is…….."
