I Wish

 

I wish for bright mornings

And cool sunsets

Some misty days and rain

To quench the thirsts of God's creation

 

I wish for enough food

And tremendous joy

Some shelter and relief

To quell the sadness of the people on side streets

 

I wish for warm thoughts

And mind comfort

Some sweetness and kindness

To quiet the loud loneliness of the world

 

I wish for humility and integrity

And peace of mind

Some cease-fire and love

To quicken humanity to stop the total destruction of mankind

 

I wish ...
