{ WISHES }
Some may wish for city streets jewels or silken gown;
Some may crave unbounded wealth, fame or beauty's crown;
Some may long for sunny paths that lure the pleasure bent -
But simpler things by far than these would keep my soul content
A bit of God's green country, with blue sky overhead;
A tiny shack, white curtained; on the sill a posy red:
A laughing chubby baby, playing inside on the floor,
And a little flower garden, growing near the open door.
A table set for supper, fresh fruit and honeycomb
Little breezes whispering "your man's a comin' home"
Simple things, with love and faith - far from worldly strife;
God granting these, before I die, I'd ask no more of life.
