i wish...that people wouldn't go hungry
i wish...everyone could afford to eat
i wish...all that wanted to work, could
i wish...raises for all (that would be sweet!)
i wish...all could afford medical care
i wish...it wasn't only for the rich
i wish...our insurance rates would go down
i wish...i didn't keep having to switch
i wish...no one faced discrimination
i wish...that everyone had equal rights
i wish...nine-one-one hadn't happened
i wish...we could banish the fear and fright
i wish...that we would all live forever
i wish...death's finality we could stall
i wish...people would think before they speak
i wish...there were no more cussing at all
i wish...no more cancer, no more disease
i wish...we were all healthy, wealthy, wise
i wish...hatred would be banished for good
i wish...the end for those who terrorize
i wish...government was for the people
i wish...that they treated everyone fair
i wish...that we would all turn back to God
i wish...we would all take more time for prayer
i wish...that we wouldn't live life too fast
i wish...we'd take the time to enjoy it
i wish...people wouldn't lose their temper
i wish...they'd stop getting mad, throwing fits
i wish...we could accept differences
i wish...we wouldn't poke fun at others
i wish...peace ruled the nations on this earth
i wish...we'd all get along--as brothers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART TWO--
as for me, i wish...
i wish i could see my son again
i wish i could stop smoking
i wish i wasn't so fat
i wish i were smarter
i wish i wasn't so forgetful
i wish i'd get a raise
i wish i had a better job
i wish i were more appreciated
i wish i wouldn't keep biting my nails
i wish i earned enough money
i wish i wasn't so hard on myself
i wish i could travel to africa
i wish i would get published
i wish september 11 never happened
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
above all...i wish y'all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!!!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, now what you have to do, is make all those wishes new years resolutions (the ones about you) and every time you break one, you have to take something you like about you off your list, and add one you don't lik to ur not like list. When you do something good, you add to your goodlist, and take one away from ur bad list. See how many goods and bads you have at the end of the year! good luck!
