“I Wish”
By Daniella Gavarrete
I wish I could help the Philippines
I see the children get food from the garbage
I wish I could be a cook
And cook for them
I wish I could be a doctor
And cure them
I wish I could be a construction worker
And build them new houses
I wish I could be a fashionista
And give them clothes and shoes
I wish I could be a clown
And make them laugh when they are sad
I wish I could be a mechanic
And make them new cars
I wish I could be a fairy
And give them everything.
(Music: Jimmy Smith "1-2-3")
