I wish from my problems I could be free,
And with contentment sail eternity.
I wish from all my troubles I could say goodbye,
And out of my window see them fly.

I wish my every day would be filled with hope,
And whatever happens know that I shall cope.
I wish during each day I'd be respected,
And not be forgotten, nor be neglected.

I wish that no more would I be bored,
And not again be scorned, nor be ignored.
I wish each day I'd find some meaning,
And solve all arguments with intervening.

And when I look into my past
See it was worthwhile and that it will last.
And when I dare to look ahead,
See it with only pleasure and not with dread.
