If I am granted three wishes,
I'd wish for these:

Firstly, I'd wish for the stars
To adorn your favorite gown,
As bright and beautiful as can be,
Though their beauty in my eyes
Still incomparable
To your glistening eyes
And endearing smile.

Secondly, I'd wish for you
To be clothed in happiness,
With all of the blessings
Wrapped around you
Like a winter scarf,
That even in the coldest days,
It can keep you warm.

Thirdly, I'd wish for you
To be embraced by wisdom,
As every knowledge you seek
Comes easily to mind,
That you may grow stronger
In every chapter of life,
As each day passes by.

And if I miss a thing,
That you wish for most,
May the stars on your gown
Grant it all.
