Wishes of the Heart

I wish all my dreams could come true,
I wish I could hold the early morning dew.

I wish I could never let a flower die,
I wish I could touch and feel the sky.

I wish I could bring a smile on a sad face.
I wish I could stop the never ending materialistic race.

I wish I could lessen everyone’s anger,
I wish I could prevent people from dying of hunger.

I wish I could save human race from nature’s wrath,
I wish I could pause and take a minute’s rest.

I wish I could stop the violence which is meaningless,
I wish I could erase all religions and leave no trace.

I wish I could do something to add more color to life,
I wish I could give reason for everyone to smile.

I wish I had a magic wand to spread happiness,
I wish I could erase all sorrow and clear the mess.

I wish I could make all this come true,
And enrich life, with hope renewed.
