If wishes fell like rain

Then certainly I’m a storm.

Never ceasing, never easing

In my constant downpour.

I wish for peace and love and joy

They’re standard things, I know.

But how could I be happy

If others aren’t so?

I wish for more time with those lost

A chance to say goodbye.

I wish that they could comfort me

When I remember them and cry.

I wish that days were longer

And perhaps that nights were too.

For the 24 hours in my day

Go by much too soon.

I wish for sillier things, as well

Like to know all the languages of the globe.

Or for a private jet and a mansion,

And maybe a satin robe…

I wish and wish and wish and wish

To no avail, it’s true.

But when it comes down to my biggest wish

Well, my biggest wish is you.
