Be careful what you wish for. You might get less. You might get more.

Be careful…wishes might come true I talked about this about five years ago. But it’s still just as true as ever. You might be wishing for things to happen. Or not happen. And you might be wishing and hoping for things you’d be much better without. So, it’s mighty important to be careful with your wishes. And when I say careful, I mean full of care. A woman I know, who will remain nameless, often “wishes” her whole life was different. Because she thinks that would make everything better. But is it true? Do you think YOU would be a different person if only your circumstances were different? Well, I can tell you this woman I’m talking about probably wouldn’t see much difference in her life. At least not in the important matters. But she’s clueless when it comes to what’s truly important. And what would that be? Relationships. Not money. And certainly not all the “things” money can buy. Don’t misunderstand me. Because I know how much better your quality of life can be with money. But only if you first understand relationships. And how it important it is to nurture them. If you don’t know how to do that when you’re broke, it won’t magically happen for you when you’re wealthy. So, I hope, as you have some extra time to ponder the big and little things in life right now, you focus on what’s real. And important. And focus on how you can serve and love your neighbor. If that’s not on your radar, then… Be Careful What You Wish For You’ve got a house and your privacy; A brand new car; you’re in the driver’s seat, But you believe there’s a bigger dream you have to follow… And so you work for your daily bread And wish for something that could get you ahead Because losing the race would be such a hard pill to swallow Be careful what you wish for… Look out “˜cause it might come true… You never, ever really know what’s in store So be careful…be careful what you wish for She feeds the kids and sends “˜em off to school She never breaks or even bends a rule But in her mind she’s convinced that something is missing And so she spends what her husband makes And doesn’t think about the toll it takes Her mother tried to tell her once, but she wouldn’t listen Chorus Now that old world can get its hands on you But only if you stop and let it You have the right to change your mind But somebody might just regret it…don’t forget it Chorus to end © 1990 Tony Funderburk Stay tuned, My books are also on Amazon.com or Apple Books Grab some Merch Or how about some music for kids [mc4wp_form id=”14357″] Don’t forget to tip your RhymeTender on the way out.
