Power, money, a life full of bliss
At the beach as the sun goes down
A lovely figure with skin golden brown
Walked with a nostalgic kind of flair
As her hair moved playfully in the air
She saw a little vase intricately designed
And gently blew away the sand to find
The most incredible of all sights
In a puff, a Genie appeared before her eyes
“What three wishes would you wish?
Power, money, a life full of bliss?”
In a second everything could be refined
Like a movie, her life flashed inside her mind
She smiled and without hesitation
While the sun set on the horizon
She whispered her wishes, her final desire
Took her last breath, and joined nature’s choir
“Power for all to forgive and love freely
Money to those who give to the hungry
And last but not least, a life full of bliss
For the one I will never again be able to kiss”
