I wish I had more hair on my head. Maybe if I sprinkled fertilizer on it, it would grow.

I Wish I Had A Quiet Tomb

'I wish I had a quiet tomb,
Beside a little rill;
Where birds, and bees, and butterflies,
Would sing upon the hill.'

I Use to Wish I Had Children

Pour that coffee in my cup.
Do it and don't interrupt.
Can't you see that I'm on the phone?
Why can't I have time on my own,
Without your ears near.

Make no sound and say no more.
Go quietly and shut the door.
Let me sit and sip and relax.
Can't I have a moment for that.
Pretend I'm not here.

As soon as the phone rings,
Children I don't see...
Suddenly appear.

They want my full attention,
As if they've been ignored for many years.
To annoy and make clear...
I'm not alone.
Even though I know they're at home.
And wanting me not on the phone!

'I use to wish I had children.
But after our conversations...
Which we never finish.
I'm happy I have peace of mind.
But I do sometimes spike my coffee with scotch! '

I Wish I Had Been Born A Bird...[Personal; Birds; Humor]

My parents were both humans, so I am human too,
but I'd wish to be a bird, if I could be born anew.
Though I 'love' birds, you may think my wish absurd.
But more absurd wishes I'm sure you have heard.

Of course I'm not a bird and never will be.
But if I could talk to birds I could better see
if the life of a bird would really satisfy me.
Eating seeds and bugs and such, and sitting in a tree.

My bird of choice? How would I pick a winner?
Not a penguin, who has to dress for dinner.
Not an ostrich, another flightless bird.
And a strutting peacock might just be absurd.
Perhaps an eagle, soaring high above you,
or a hummingbird, acrobat of the blue.
Or perhaps a mighty swan swimming gracefully,
or a nightingale whistling a concert, free.

For certain I would not choose a caged-life,
though, uncaged, dangers for me might be rife.
I think I'd prefer fresh-kill to old road kill,
and a nest in tree rather than on window sill.

If a bird, I'd not have had to deal with military draft.
Or had others think sometimes that I am daft.
All sorts of human signs and laws I could spurn.
And there'd be no reason to file a tax return.
I'd have no need to wear or ever change diapers,
no need to get gas or change windshield wipers,
no need for lawyers or too many teachers,
no need to listen to rehashing preachers,
no need to plan for death or watch my cholesterol.
As a bird I'd just have to listen to Mother Nature's call.

I Wish I Had My Home

Home

Brandon

Home

What is a home?

Where is home?

When can I go home?

Home is a place where you can feel safe

Home is a place where you can break down in the free

Home is the place where you feel joy happiness and whole

Home is a place where you lay your heart in

I have laid my heart in three different places

(What) My first home is a place everywhere

All I need is a basket and a ball

All I did was give a ball love and I got something better in return

A ball gave me hope, understanding and appreciation for true love

I have never put more hours into one thing than it

It was always my top priority and I was it’s top priority

Better than any girlfriend and any friend

Home

Brandon

Home

What is a home?

Where is home?

When can I go home?

Home is a place where you can feel safe

Home is a place where you can break down in the free

Home is the place where you feel joy happiness and whole

Home is a place where you lay your heart in

I have laid my heart in three different places

(What) My first home is a place everywhere

All I need is a basket and a ball

All I did was give a ball love and I got something better in return

A ball gave me hope, understanding and appreciation for true love

I have never put more hours into one thing than it

It was always my top priority and I was it’s top priority

Better than any girlfriend and any friend

It only treated me great when I treated it great

I could never leave my hear with it because it put it’s heart in mine

I wish I had my home

(Where) My home is a place where dreams are rested and free and comfort

I feel safe, I feel that I can get some sleep and I feel that Im at home

When my body needs a rest it has hammocks for me

When I need a place to think and collaborate it always had a quite spot with a beautiful view for me

When I need a place to escape to, it welcomes me with open arms and I can stay as long as I like

I have made my imprint in the Cayman Islands and It has left its imprint in me and have left one part of my life in it and

I wish I could go back home.

(When) I miss her so much and I would do anything to see her again

I miss her humbleness, her laugh and her comfort when I need to break down

I miss her when I need her there or when there is a good moment

I miss my home because my home is in her

She is my home but it is a place where I cannot stay

Instead of me leaving my home, my home left me and I forgot something inside

I know she can take care of my home but I hope she takes care of my heart

If it has too I know it will bleed for her and it would become hers

All I want is to know when I can go and see my home where my heart lays

Who Could Wish For Anything More

Candle
For the light.

Wine
For the drinking

Chocolates
For the eating

Flowers
For the smelling

Lips
For the kissing

Who could wish
For anything more

More Hair!

You've already taken my lunch, my socks, my long-distance binocs,
Now what do you want?
More Hair!

My jeans, my spleens, my workout magazines,
They're gone, now you want?
More Hair!

I gave you my gum, cilium, chromium,
my green shoes, my feet shoes, my mangy old street shoes,
Come on, you want?
More Hair!

Give me my CDs, my TVs, my Wheaties and my Levi's.
Know what I'll give you?
More Hair!

I Wish I Had You

B. green / a. stillman / claude thornhill
Joys that come to others
Seldom come to me
But if I only were aladin
How different things would be
Every time I wish
I wish I had you
Every time I dream
The dream is for two
Youre the part within my heart
That beats all day
Seems to say, I love you
Everywhere I go
Youre all that I see
Wonder if you know
What you mean to me
Wishes would be grand
If only they came true
For every time I wish
I wish I had you

Want More Hair?

I'd love
I think
more hair
more hair
like a big
old grizzly bear
more hair makes
you manly
more hair
makes you tough
more hair feels
like carpet
more hair keeps
you rough
more hair
for pretty ladies
to rub their faces on
more hair for
guys to jealous of
and more locks that can
be flung
I think more hair would be awesome
but I wouldn't wanna overdo it
because too much hair would make
me like a little furry blanket
and I couldn't cover both of us
just you and that ain't fair
more hair!

I Wish I Had Some Sorcery

I wish I had some sorcery
That would en-lighten you and me
I wish I had a special spell
That would make us smile and make us tell
Stories that would make us smile
Not fine and fancy just one’s that I’ll
Revisit when I think of you
Not much to ask but hard to do
But life’s not like that so it seems
We live our lives inventing dreams
We talk within ourselves too much
And lose the thrill of closeness’ touch
We weave a wall out of our thoughts
Without the doors that open or
We gain distraction from our past
And fear to let the present last.

Sonnet- My Ultimate Wish?

Could I not spend my days talking to God?
My precious time is spent in daily food;
If all spend lives holy, it will look odd;
Man's knowledge of the Divine is so crude.

Could I not spend my days walking with God?
What earthly work we do to save this frame!
Why do we hanker for earthly reward?
We waste God's time in sin without much shame.

Could I not spend my days thinking of God?
My thoughts are just on things of earthly mould;
Oh, how we wish that human beings laud?
Yet, without God, our hearts and souls grow cold.
Oh, how I wish I had more time for God!
Whose love for man comes with a kindly rod.

I Wish I Had A Nickel

(g) they tell me little darlin,
That to- (c) morrow youll be (g) wed,
You thought that you would hurt me,
But you (a7) hurt yourself in- (d7) stead,
Ill (g) always be the same old pal,
Just (c) as in years gone (g) by,
Ill (c) just set back and (g) watch you,
While you (d7) set alone and (g) cry.
Chorus:
(g) tears fallin (c) down your pretty (g) cheeks,
Tears you cannot hide and (a7) tears you cannot (d7) keep,
(g) **they** are tears of sorrow and (c) tears of de- (g) light,
I wish I had a nickel, for every (d7) tear you shed last (g) night.
I just dropped by to tell you that I wish you happi-ness,
I hope that youll forgive me for in-truding like this,
I hope my dear your happiness will follow through the years,
Ill just set back and watch you, while you shed those bitter tears.
Repeat chorus:

I wish you many more

Arise beautiful girl its your birthday,
Let the sun rays penetrate your window,
Spread the curtains we need light,
Open wide the windows my love,
A new year, new rays and fresh air,
Open your arms my love,
Hugs you shall receive in abundance,
But your lips spare for me alone,
More years, more love, more everything,
Time comes and it goes for sure,
Some growing apart we grow together,
Sharing the wonderful moments of life,
Taking life to stages of highness,
Many prescribe wishes on paper,
The rain withers away the ink,
Some in the leaves of the trees,
Yet the wind blows the leaves away,
Others on the sand of the deserts,
Yet when the storm comes they mourn,
As such simple, it means a lot my love,
For some its an unwanted pregnancy,
They wish for life but they never see the sun,
Abortion vanished them into oblivion,
Some travel to meet their loved ones,
Yet the roads swallow them before,
Accidents diminish them into oblivion,
Some are victims of calculated methods,
Dying in the arms of their loved ones,
Tears of separation flowing without ease,
Losing a loved one unexpectedly,
Death an enemy of humanity,
Celebrate life for life is a journey,
Each year that comes across,
Each day that passes along,
And each moments that slides across,
People like years come and go,
Yet i have come to stay my love,
That when your years continue to increase,
My love increases with you as well,
I wish you many more my love

Your life started before our love,
Thou shall respect it always,
Another day, another year,
Another method to show your love,
Life is the love you get around,
Some live to languish in poverty,
Without a trace of family and origin,
Ignorant of place of birth,
Date of birth never known,
Some by deliberation some victimised,
Seeeing them we might not be moved,
Stretch your hand my love,
Some should have been forty,
However they died at thirty,
As you slice your cake,
Some are sliding the bin lid,
As you throw away the remainings,
Some catch them for supper,
Celebrate life, remembering life as well,
The more your years,
The more you help others my love
I wish you many more

Its a new year, new plans,
Remember us my love,
The love we built and keep
Your growthr is my growth,
Our growth is our love
Im happy we are happy,
I wish you many more

Your life is a product of some,
Some who took their time to care,
Care for someone whom they love,
Love because they chose to,
Celebrate and choose to love,
Not only those around you,
Take a mile, you will live a while longer,
I love you, happy birthday

Where does the time go

Life is moving very fast
Im not ready to face what the world has for me
I play around and dont take life serious
I may not graduate
I have to understand that life comes around once
I think I have all the time in the world
But I dont
The months are leaving me
I wish I had more time
Too late for that

Only When It Is Available To Waste

Only when it is available to waste,
Is time then considered to be precious.
And those who say,
They wish they had more of it...
To do those things they find the time to excuse,
Are the first to acknowledge...
How pressed for time they are,
After wining and dining their druthers away.
With no thought of giving time to do this at all.
