I was wishing in all my life
To enjoy bright stars forever
So like that both of my eyes
May not see more sad rain ever,
I had wished to direct my steps
Mainly follow right directions
Where what will always be kept
Will achieve what is best for;
I was wishing on past days
To bring toward me a desired love
That will then send away
What was sad, plus what felt cold,
Plus was wishing to see for real
What I then really desired,
Like that to be very, very near
Of what I would also admire.
As what I was wishing then
Mainly regarding good health plus an eternal love to remain near
Is about what now, here I do express
On these true words so truly thankfully swearing, is for years
Is why today, I am wishing to be heard
About what I do face and am now thinking,
And I continue to hope that it could be read
In a book expressing all my feelings,
That about our health we continue taking good care
Plus this love is forever, as can both deeply declare.
