My Wish

When I was small I had a wish that when I’m grown I will be rich

To have the things that I desire that when I’m alone I could admire

Now I am grown and all alone I do not care for riches , but health

And strength, life with length and that God grant me my wishes

Today I know that I am here, tomorrow  I may be elsewhere

When obstacles demand a test I’ll try to do my very best

Now riches to me is not my choice, the hungry I prefer to feed

If I should hear a desperate voice I will always offer my help indeed
