WISH
Debra K Middaugh (AKA turbo1904) 1963 (San Diego, CA.)
If I had a wish, what would it be,
I could ask for sight to see the things we cannot see.
I could wish for peace, never be another war,
If i had a wish I would take away the standing at deaths door.
I could wish away all the evil in the world,
If I had a wish, then boys would be equal to the girls.
I could wish for misery and pain to go away,
If I had a wish no one would ever have a bad day.
I could wish that everyone is a shining star,
We would be happy, silly and bizarre.
If I had a wish no one would get hurt or be sick,
No more scams, lies or dirty tricks.
If I had a wish, what would it be,
I could wish for you to wish instead of me.
