Helen's Corner - Book I

My Dearest Wish

If I could have one wish today,
         It probably would be this
Please bring a baby sister my way
         And fill my heart with bliss.

It's dreadful to be lonesome
         With no one round about
No one to play with and have fun
         No happy children's shouts.

Just me alone to sit and ponder
         And pass the hours away
Often my thoughts just idly wander,
         To a far-off nook and stay.

So if there is an angel sweet
         Who hears my wish today
Please make my dreams complete
         And send a sister out my way.

Dedicated to all Babys
         In The World.
