Things of importance in my life,
I did not obtain.
They were just wishes, I could not gain.
I wanted children, at least three, a house in
The country, a garden, to plant beautiful flowers in,
A pet to sit with me under the shade of a tree.
None of these wishes were granted me.

I wished for and found a wonderful husband,
Had seventy happy years of married life.
I am not complaining, just stating reasons
Why without him, I still want to survive.

What I want for the world and our next generation,
Learn from the mistakes of our history.
Loving thy neighbor, like you love thyself,
Should not be such a mistery!

Stop drilling for oil, prevent all actions that the globe, and all
Creatures there on would spoil
Stop all crooked politicians, who acquire billions
And send them to perdition!

THAT’ S WHAT I WANT!!!

Let’s have our democracy back , the way it was conceived by
Our early Fathers.
I’d be very much relieved.!
