~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On such a day an award be given
I’d find myself in tears
For once the opportunity has presented itself
That I’ve awaited all these years
I’d hire a lawyer to find my kids
And bring them home to me
Then I’d pay their tuitions for college
And mine, so we can become something
I’d buy a house with a beautiful view
An ocean below a cliff
Somewhere peaceful so we can begin
To forget the lousy life of mischief

As much as we would all love to win the lottery, money will not buy happiness, it just simply masks the sadness temporarily. I know you would love to find your children and have an opportunity to have a wonderful life with them, even though you can not go back and only forward, I pray one day this will come to you. I wish you could win if financially this would help you find them. This was a deep and wishful poem.

Touching tale. For I know how much this would truly mean to you if this could happen. Being with your children once again would be my greatest dream if I could grant you one wish - that's what it would be. Love ya~ Sie
