I wish

I wish for greener trees,
I wish for cleaner seas,
Most of all, I wish for world peace.

I wish for patience,
I wish for gratefulness and gracefulness,
I wish for knowledge,
and moreover, courage.

I wish for the power to forgive and forget,
I wish to live without regret,
I wish never to have to fret,
Most of all, I wish to be able to accept death.

I wish never to hate,
nor to discriminate,
I wish to never feel lust,
I wish I could trust.

Most of all, I wish for love,
I wish to love unconditionally,
and to be loved unconditionally.

I sit here wishing,
when i realized I should be praying,
Not just saying these words,
But doing something to make these wishes come true,
I will PRAY.
