The Wish - Mindy Gledhill

There are many things that every person hopes for

In the never-ending want for happiness

Everybody needs a little motivation while they work

To carve their own path

Maybe it’s a summer cottage by the seaside

Or bags of money in the bank for years to come

I could never blame a dreamer for their dreams

Oh but for me, there’s only one

You are the wish

That I imagine when I blow out the candles

On my birthday cake

You are the wish

I say a prayer for when I look out the window

And see the Northern Star

There’s no greater love

No greater gift than you as my wish

Sometimes I am apt to buy into the falsehood

That the grass is greener on the other side

Lately I’ve been trying to savor every moment

When you’re stuck, stuck in my mind

You are the wish

That I imagine when I blow out the candles

On my birthday cake

You are the wish

I say a prayer for when I look out the window

And see the Northern Star

There’s no greater love

No greater gift

'Cus you are the poster child of quirky imperfections

Oh, and if that rings true

Please know that I’d be honored to walk

Hand in hand, parading as the oddest little couple

That the world has ever known to exist

But for now, back to my list

You are the wish

You are the wish

I say a prayer for when I look out the window

And see the Northern Star

And you are right here

Oh, this is it

You’re at the tippy tip top of my bucket list

Oh, my love

There’s no greater gift

Than you as my wish
