"If wishes were changes there'd be no goodbyes"
- Nanci Griffith
Her song about wishes is lovely:

Next is my poem... it's raw and sad and real.
I wish
I wish I could go back
Back to when I felt free
Back to when I felt joy for the good things
Back to when I felt like me
I wish your eyes didn’t gaze into mine with pity
When you tell me your sorry
Of my new unfortunate reality
I wish for my body to feel strong
To wake up with excitement
Not crippled with fatigue, knowing something's very wrong
I wish for the fear to be replaced
With overwhelming relief
That I escaped the sickness within me
Most importantly, I wish for my kids to not worry
To focus on kid things
To live blissfully unaware, with their MOM there, supporting
I wish for my tears
To be dried up by sunshine
Not relying on hope to grow old
But with a cure for a long full lifetime
