The lamp

Gold like the gleaming sun above us today
Granting wishes for money or life
Following me like a watchful tiger
Close to my heart

White patterns surround the gold background
Giving harmony and life
Wise and old
Found as it was carried across Nile River

Standing tall like an long giraffe
Floating like a bubble in the air
Hovering and answering me as I plead my wishes
Passed down by generation

I glance at it as it gives me three wishes
Standing tall and majestic
What should I wish for?
The gift of life or the gift of money
