Three Wishes

by Jada Andrews - Capricorn

When I was a child I wanted three wishes...
I always knew what I'd wish for:
More wishes, 
lots of money,
and a magical toy box game
that had every game imaginable on it...
I would spend hours creating in my mind what 
that box would look like, and what it would do,
and I wished on every star in the sky for that wish to come true...

When I was a teenage girl, 
I wanted three wishes,
and I knew exactly what I'd wish for:
More wishes,
to be happy for once,
and for a prince charming to come 
and whisk me away on his white horse, 
to proclaim his love for me,
and take me away to his kingdom
where he'd love me unconditionally,
happily ever after...

We all grow up sometime...

Now, if offered three wishes,
I really don't know
what I would have to wish for.
For I have learned many important lessons.
More wishes would be greedy,
those wishes would be stolen out of the hands
of the very children who believe in their magic.
Money truly can't buy happiness...I know that now.
Magical boxes don't exist, and prince charming's are 
for fairy tales,
but you see...
the truth is, 
I don't need him anymore, 
because I have you here loving me unconditionally,
and now I know I will live 
happily ever after,
after all...

Reason for writing:

    The first in (probably) a long line of poems for the man who I love...
He has truly made all my greatest wishes come true...
