Today my daughter’s combined first and second grade class wrote down their individual wishes for the world. The wishes are part of a wish tree. Here they are:

I wish people could always be happy.

I wish the world was more fair.

I wish for a world of peace and a world of kindness.

I wish everyone would care about each other and never fight.

I wish everybody could have have food.

I wish they would tax the rich and help the poor.

I wish, I wish, I wish there were more trees, I still wish that, so remember.

I wish there was no poaching and there was friendship for all animals and people.

I wish the land was fair and everyone had a friend.

I wish I could have money to donate to orphans and the world would have no guns and people could be in peace.

I wish that big arguments didn’t turn into wars and people didn’t get hurt.

I wish everybody will have shelter.

I wish everybody will not get sick.

I wish there were no guns.

I wish everybody would have food and water.

I wish everybody had time to finish their coffee every morning.

I wish that I had a million dollars so that I could help people who needed help.

I wish everyone could never die and never get sick.

I wish that everyone was kind to old mother nature.

I think I know which one was my daughter’s (although it could also have been the one about coffee).
