I wish

Mid-Wales Area Meeting runs a Peace Education Project with Year 4 children (aged nine). The children wrote this poem in response to a story of a family coming from Syria to Wales.

For myself I wish…

I would like some football boots,
I would like some football boots,
I would like some football boots and a gaming PC, PS4 keyboard and a mouse.
I would like an Xbox,
I’d like some more bedclothes
I would like a Yorkie bar

I’d like to go to LA,
I wish I could fly,
I’d like to learn how to play the piano,
I would like to be a singer
I’d like to be tall.

I wish for a new dog,
I wish my dog was still alive,
I wish my pug had superpowers!

I wish my little brother would stop annoying me,
I wish I could take Daria on holiday.
I wish that me and Gemma could be best friends for ever.

I wish my Mum could get more money from work

I hope it wouldn’t happen to me
I hope that it would never happen to me

And for them…

I wish the children could have stayed at home,
I wish the war had never started.
I wish they didn’t have to leave home,
And Grandma.
I wish for Yasmin to live next door to her friend,
And for Khalid to be in his own country

I wish they could take all they want with them,
Food, drink, clothes and a teddy.

More money for them,
To be richer and together as a family.
And all the things I want but also food and clothes and a house.

I want the world to be fair.
I hope they would never have to go through it again and that they will be happy.
I wish for them to live a normal life like we do now.

I hope Yasmin and Khalid will make some new friends and find others to help them.
I hope they could make a friend,
I hope the boy finds his toy,
I hope you can play football.

I wish there was no such thing as a refugee.
