How I Wish

Oh how I wish the sun would burn forever cast in yellow - and how I wish the moon would glow a brighter shade of mellow. I wish the trees would stay in leaf with blossom never falling - And how I wish the evening gloom not stem the songbirds' calling. I wish the sky was free of cloud the world released from sorrow - And how I wish that ev'ry dream should last beyond tomorrow. I wish for all the harsh things said such words were never spoken - And how I wish that through all time no hearts were ever broken. I wish that all the tears which fall would turn into an ocean - And how I wish that such became an ocean of devotion. I wish that you were back again to be with me forever - And how I wish that caring hearts would always be together. I wish that love would come to me all loneliness forsaken - And how I wish the life I knew had never yet been taken. Oh how I wish there was a God His presence all-embracing - And how I wish that He would end the troubles all are facing. Oh how I wish, yes how I wish the world would turn in glory - and how I wish, oh how I wish there was a sweeter story. ©️April 2024. Valerie Dohren.
