Life would be boring, and I mean… a lot.

things tucked away in your own treasure chest.

Out on the lawn, plain as could be,
stood an orange wishing tree.
"I wish!" I said. "I wish!" said you.
And so our double wishes grew.

With all of my heart, I believe it is true
that there is a heaven for animals, too.

Because you’re mine. Because you’re mine.
