As I sit on the ground alone the tears of pain and worry blur my eyes My gaze turns to a lamp buried in the ground so dull and dingy.
A voice tells me "The embers of your soul will fade into darkness and consume you. It's up to you to make your wish come true".
I take the lamp in my hands. It has an odd glow about it. Some would say its magic . I rub my hand against the side . So smooth and cool to the touch .
Low and behold out comes a genie's presence of blue that surrounds me.
"Three wishes only I shall grant thee" . You never have had a friend like me . "
"Wait, I have friends! I say loud and clear to the genie.
Friends so dear to me that my heart skips a beat with excitement when I see them.
When a thought of them crosses my mind I smile and a calmness settles over me.
A sense of being whole and a connection that runs deep that they are truly there every step of the way .
I am not alone!!!
They are my wishes that have already come true.
Genie, I will say, I have never had a friend like you !!!
