I Wish
I wish that stars would forever shine
Gleaming, reflecting my love
I wish that eyes could fill up with tears
But never drown in them
I wish that sunsets would never fade
Burning brilliantly, beautifully
I wish that poverty was taken seriously
Instead of jokingly brushed aside
I wish you could never get hurt
So that you could forever shine
I wish that friends could stay the same
True, honest and loyal
-----------------------------
But without the blue skies
We could never rejoice in the sun
And without those tears
We could never have someone there to wipe them away
Without one sunset
Would take place a thousand more, each different and beautiful in their own way
And without poverty
We could never have anyone who cares enough to help
Without the hurt
You could never know happiness
And without honest, true friends
You know how special the real ones are
As much as I'd wish for things to be different
I wish to be without.
