Oh! How I wish I could
Climb up a sturdy tree of sandalwood
And brave, on the branches, stand
And swing on them with just one hand
Oh! How I wish I could make
A tree house for my own sake
With wooden walls and thatched roof
Hanging on the tree with a metal hook
Oh! How I wish I could sling
Big, green guavas that were to me calling
And have pretty butterflies flutter around me
How exquisite and heavenly would that be!
Oh! How I wish I could
Order the sun to stay put
And wait to be let
Wait for my nod to rise and set
Oh! How I wish I could say,
“The seas, the oceans and each bay
Are mine, each and every one of them”
And claim confidently that I own them
Oh! How I wish I could dig
An underground tunnel, deep and big
And one fine day, hit upon a treasure
Of endless joy and love, without measure
And share it with every living soul
Let it be a billionaire, pauper or a tiny mole
In the end of this dreamy little day
Curl into a hammock and there I want to stay
Shh! Please don’t wake me up

Lovely Sahana ! While I was reading through, was definitely in awe and admiration ..for…..most of the sweet wishes quoted by a child like you, are often ones forgotten by many in this fast and digital world.
It’s a pleasant surprise that these are still yearned for !
It’s a nice and timely reminder for all to wish for …. or atleast dream… a sweet dream!!
Superb Sahana! As always…
Great going! 👍🥰
