My Wish List

My Wish List

I wish that for once the world would have peace
And for a while the fighting would cease
I wish that we would stop hating each other
And learn how to love our brothers
I wish that children would stop calling names
And would have the uncool join their games
I wish that people would not drink and drive
And let the innocent stay alive
I wish that in the media looks wouldn’t matter
And no jokes would be made if someone got fatter
I wish that people would respect my God
And that Christians in China wouldn’t get shot
I wish that the world never saw porn
And that we'd save the lives of the unborn
I wish that father wouldn’t abuse
And hug their kids as they would choose
I wish that mothers wouldn’t leave
And only to her husband would she cleave
My wishes for the world may never come true
But goodness can start with me and you
