Three Wishes Poem by Jim Yerman

A genie offered him three wishes to change the world
Then asked, "What would your first wish be? "
The young man smiled at the genie then said,
"That's an easy decision for me."

"I wish for everyone…every person
every son
every daughter, father and mother
to be kind to the Earth
to be kind to the animals
and to be kind…to one another.

The genie said, "You still have two wishes…
what are you going to do?
The young man smiled, "I don't think I'll need them
as long as my first wish comes true".
