Poems (Kennedy)/Good Wishes

GOOD WISHES

(OUR LADS IN KHAKI)

LIKE the Wise Men out of the East, I send As precious gift three wishes true,And straight as a homing dove they go       From the heart of Me          To the heart of You.

One wish for Joy, one for Good Will, And one for Peace where'er you be;And they fly on the silken wings of Love       To the heart of You          From the heart of Me!
