Has anyone asked the child
What she’d like to do?
Would she like to swim with dolphins
Before her life is through?
.
Does she want to see the northern lights
Shimmer in the heavens above?
Does she ask what the lights look like
From the other side of God’s love?
.
Does she want to see the sun rise
On the plains of the Serengeti?
Does she ask if the sun rises
In heaven just as it does on Grandpa’s jetty?
.
Does she want to see spinning teacups
And pirates sailing the Caribbean?
Does she ask if Heaven has a Disneyland
She could visit with the Galilean?
.
Has anyone asked the child
What she’d like to do?
Would she like to swim with dolphins
Before her life is through?
.
.
Yes, I asked my child
If there was something she wished to do
She said she would like to grow her hair back
And have more eyelashes than two.
.
She said she’d like to play
Instead of lay in the hospital all day
She said she would like to dance in a ballet
And never again live the color gray.
.
She said she’d like to ride a pony
And play dress-up with her kitty cat
She said she was tired of throwing up
And wanted to eat until she was fat.
.
Then she said her biggest wish
Was not to say goodbye
She has a few more things to do
Like making friends with a dragonfly.
.
So yes I asked my child
What she wanted to do
And she said she’d like to swim with dolphins
Before her life is through.
