three wishes

A fairy allows me three wishes,
     Three wishes for a friend;
Now, honest et true, that must be tu,
     So 3 to you I send.
     I wish you a body so healthy
     That living is pure delight;
Your work every day like happy play;
     Your sleep like a child’s at night.
     I wish you a mind so responsive
           That nothing escapes your ken;
The CREATOR’S plan, nor the   notes of Pan,
     Nor the good in your fellow men.
I wish you a heart prone to loving,
     That all my be dear to you’;
Your friends indeed, all those you need,
     Et those who need you, too.
I’ve wished you my 3 best wishes,
     But the three are really one;
GOD grant you wealth-just perfect health,
     Until your day is done


if i had known...

If I had known what trouble you were bearing
… What griefs were in the silence of your
Face…I would have been more gentle et
More caring…Et tried to give you gladness
For a space…I would have brought more
Warmth into the place…If I had known.

If I had known what thoughts despairing drew
You…Why do we never understand…I
Would have lent a little friendhip to you…
Et slipped my hand within your lonely
Hand…Et made your stay more pleasant

In the land…If I had known.

friendship

Friendship is a mighty ship
That weathers many gales,
And leaves a blessing to the world
In every place it sails.
It gives a helping hand to those
Who’ve fallen by the way.

Friendship is a blessed ship
That’s full of peace and love,
And carries sunshine everywhere,
From God’s own blessed above,
And makes the world a better place-
E’en more like heaven sweet-
And helps to smooth the pathway out
For weary pilgrim’s feet.
