The Wish

If I had a wish,
What would I do

Would I use it for me or would I give it to you
Would I change the world and hope the best
Or would I change my own destiny and to hell with the rest
Would I go back in time and make things right
Or would I seek out my enimies and turn their days into nights
Would I choose always the good and never the bad
Or would I choose to have all that I never had

Some things are good
Some things are not
I should be thankful for what I've got
I should look back on my life's little lessons
And strive to remember what I forgot
Those times of great joy and also burdensome sorrows
For these are the things that will shape my tomorrows.

A wish is only a wanting
A deep heartfelt request
Born from the soul
Deep within one's chest
But a wish alone cannot carry the day
I have to move forward come what may
So what is my wish
You say you want to know?

I shall reveal my wish
Then I'll go
I wish for those things that money cannot attain
The courage to try and try and try again
I wish to wake one morning and feel at peace with all
And hear in a different and better way
The mockingbird call
I wish I could love someone who loves me
Not just for who I am
But for who I can be
This is my desire
My hope
My request
If I can have just one of these wishes
I'll have the courage to fight for the rest.
