Wishing Tree
Whilst I stood among the wishing tree
As I thanked my God while on my knees
For everything he hath given me throughout the years
And all the times he wiped away my tears.
Then I knew he had answered my prayer
As I turned around and he stood there.
I said, “My God you are beautiful in every way
Thank you Lord for this gorgeous day.”
He smiled contently back at me
And stood me up from my bended knee.
He said, “My child it is my honor to give you this
Now I will grant you a solitary wish.
Think hard now, my child, but don’t think in lack.
For what I give to you you can’t give back.”
I searched in my heart for the words to say
And found my wish on this Thanksgiving Day.
“Give my family happiness and love
And let all their prayers rise above.
Give them strength to wake up to each new day
And show them the grace you have shown to me.”
A ray of sunshine scattered the land
And he moved close to me and held my hand.
Find his peace on bended knee
And say your prayers by the wishing tree.
