My biggest wish
If I could only have one wish,
It wouldn’t be for wealth or my favourite dish.
I’d wish a wish for everyone,
That the day we’ve been waiting for would come.
A day where world leaders could proudly say,
No one is persecuted against in any way.
Where rights are equal in every land,
Where people of all nations stand hand-in-hand.
Richard Branson high five children in South Africa with Virgin Unite

A world where poverty no longer persists,
And the glass ceiling no longer exists.
A world where nobody feels the need to know their place,
Or feels ashamed or afraid to show their true face.
I wish a wish for equality,
That would mean everything for me.
A world without conflict, just harmony,
That’s what my biggest wish would be.

I certainly wouldn’t call myself a poet, but I have tried my hand at a few verses over the years.
Have a read of this love poem I wrote when I was 15 years old, and this poem for all entrepreneurs I wrote last year in response to another #ChallengeRichard.
I feel the title of poet is better credited to my son Sam, who wrote these lovely verses about his daughter Eva-Deia, while in Scotland recently.

If you could have one wish for the world come true, what would it be? More importantly, what are you doing to make it a reality?
