Thoughts, Desires, & Wishes Poem by Libby Bechtel

I want to grow up & be successful
I want to enjoy my career
I want to help people
I want to change people's lives

I wish I could give a $20 bill to every person in need I see
I wish I could make hundreds of people smile just by being myself
I wish I could inspire some to be themself or to do what they love
I wish I could expose under-privelaged people to other countries'
cultures

I know it's selfish, but I want a big house for parties, guests, outdoor-
loving people, & my family
I know it's crazy, but I want the world to be free of war 7 dispute for at
least one day, just one day
I know it's silly, but I want to have boyfriends of every ethinicity, for
experience, I guess
I know it's kind of cliche, but I want to take a walk with my lover on a
crisp, autumn day through the woods

This is me
These are my thoughts, desires, & wishes
What are yours?
