The Wish

I made a wish at early light

that I could get a new red bike

it was my birthday the first of May

my wish came true late in the day

I’ve been real good at home, in school

I share my float when in the pool

I do my school work, make good grades

Every morning my bed is made.

I hug daddy and match his socks

I always listen when he talks

I help mommy fold the clothes

When I sniffle, I blow my nose.

I say my prayers when I go to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

And when I pray, I make a wish

That God will one day give me a sis.

I’m very patient when I ask

It isn’t such an easy task

But when I wait and not complain

I know the wish I soon will gain.
