My 5 Unspoken Wish List
In response to Dancing Elephants Press prompt 42 of 52.
My dear friends and readers, allow me to rewind back to the time when I was just 6 years old.
Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles has this prompt. Though my wish list is somehow different but I hope I am allowed to respond and share.
Imagine I am writing this to all of you today as am a 6-year-old child.
I lost my father when I was a newborn and my mom fell sick when I was 6 years old and died due to no medical attention provided at that time.
Here are 5 wish lists I would want to have as a 6-year-old child.
1. Unconditional Love and Affection
Above all else, I would wish for the love and affection of my parents. The warmth of their hugs, the sound of their laughter, and the comfort of knowing they are there for me would be the most cherished gift I could ever have.
2. Quality Time and Play
I would long for quality time with my parents, engaging in fun activities and play. Whether it’s going to the park, playing games together, or reading bedtime stories, these moments of joy and bonding would mean the world to me.
3. Security and Stability
Losing my parents would have left me feeling vulnerable and uncertain. So, I would wish for a stable and secure home environment where I could feel safe and protected, surrounded by caring family members or guardians who would provide for my needs and nurture me.
4. Guidance and Encouragement
As a young child, I would crave guidance and encouragement from my parents. I’d want them to be there to help me navigate the challenges of growing up, offering wisdom and support as I discover the world around me.
5. Memories and Keepsakes
Since I wouldn’t have the chance to create more memories with my parents, I would wish to have keepsakes or mementos that remind me of them. Whether it’s a special piece of jewelry, a handwritten letter, or a cherished photograph, these tangible reminders would help keep their memory alive in my heart.
Losing parents at such a young age is undoubtedly a heartbreaking experience, and as a child in this situation, all I would wish for is the love, care, and presence of my parents to guide me through life’s journey.

A Poem for My Parents
In childhood’s grasp, where dreams did dance so free, A tender time that fades too swiftly gone. Their love and guidance wrapped me in their plea, Yet now their absence sings a sorrow’s song.
With every verse I pen, their memory sways, Like forgotten echoes of youthful play. Through ink-stained tears, my longing heart conveys A poem in memory of parents who’ve passed away.
Terry Day has a fun and extravagant wish list article and it was fun to read, so I am pretty sure you will have fun too.
