wish



a wish is a wonderful thing
and it can bring
loads of joy
or it can destroy
every bit of hope you had
and really make you sad

a wish is not reality
it really is a plea
for your ideal world
it's really just a dreamworld
but if it becomes real
happy is how you should feel

a wish is a wonderful thing
it can make your heart sing
it rarely is more than imagination
and sometimes is just consolation
but treat your wishes like treasure
because sometimes they will bring great pleasure
