One wish in your life
One wish in your life, what would it be?
If things of lesser importance came to mind,
you think a lot like me.
Material things are the first to pop into your
head,
A big house, more money or a sports car that’s
red!
Maybe it’s a place you’ve always wanted to
see,
Like a cruise to
Maybe it something to make you look great,
Like lypo-suction, a face-lift or getting your
teeth straight.
But the greatest things in life aren’t things
you can hold,
They are lessons you have learned,
Things you are told.
It starts when you are little, if you’re lucky
like me,
You learn about love from an awesome family.
My Mother, almost saintly, is always there for
us.
She has the kindest heart, she’s someone we
all trust.
Her voice never raised, always lending an ear,
She always knows and says what we need to
hear.
Then there is Daddy, just as close to my
heart,
You know why Mom loved him right from the
start.
When I was little he was a hero to me,
I would watch him shave while hugging his
knee.
He has every quality I have looked for in a
man,
Like being married 42 years and still holding
Mom’s hand.
Next is my Sister, she’s the oldest one.
When we were little we didn’t share much fun.
We were always fighting, I wish I could get
that back,
I guess I always knew she has qualities I
lack.
She thinks with her heart where family is
concerned,
I know these are lessons my children have
learned.
Her husband has loved her all of his life,
He knew he deserved the best when he made her
his wife.
My Brother has moved with a family of his own,
I can still feel his love when we talk on the
phone.
Just like our Sister, he found true love from
the start,
They each found a person so dear to my heart.
What a great father he has turned out to be,
He learned from great parents to share love
times three.
When I was fifteen I met someone new,
And over the years our friendship quickly
grew.
She’s Godmother to one child, I am the same,
Because of our mutual love, you’d think we
shared the same last name.
Although we aren’t sisters we’re close as can
be,
She will always be part of my family.
The birth of my Son was such a family event,
My perfect little boy, he was heaven sent.
My little Boy has now grown into such a strong
man,
And I have to say I’m his Number one fan.
He’s handsome, he’s smart and boy is he tall.
But it’s his gentle ways that over powers them
all.
Then came the second, a beautiful girl,
Her unique carefree ways put our life in a whirl.
She’s cute, she’s spunky, and she’s filled
with such joy.
She’s gonna be trouble for some lucky boy!
The third was much later but certainly not
less,
When it comes to good kids, she is the best.
She thinks about others all of the time,
I’m so proud to say, “that little girls mine”.
And finally the Man I have always waited for.
He fills my life with love and so much more.
He brings my life, joy, laughter, even tears,
I have looked for this man throughout the
years.
You all found it so easily, or so it seems,
The one that you love, the one of your dreams.
Your marriage so strong, the standards so
high,
You can see why it took me more then one try.
I know how Mom feels now cause he’s just like
my Dad,
And just like my Mom, I’m the best he will
ever have.
One wish in your life, what would it be?
If you’re still thinking material you don’t
think like me.
To be granted one wish, it’s easy for me,
The continuing love of my perfect family.
I know I don’t say it as much as I should,
I love you all more then anyone could.
