One of Austin's weekly assignments for class is a project called "Dear Diary". Each week the teacher gives them a subject to inspire them to write. It could be anything from "if you lived in the ocean, what creature would you be" or "if you were President what would you do?" This past week, the assignment was "If I had one wish". Usually Austin procrastinates homework and it takes forever to get his thought on paper, but this week, he had finished the assignment before I ever got to say those famous words "have you finished your homework yet?" When I read it, I began to weep loudly. Austin didn't know what to think about me bursting out in tears but I couldn't help it. It was beautiful and I knew he had put true feelings into his writing since he didn't ask for my help. It was something that I wanted to share.
If I Had One Wish by Austin Hill
If I had one wish I would wish for four more wishes. Wish number one would be a big pile of ice cream pie with whip cream on top. Wish number 2 would be to have 300 cans of food that I can donate to the poor. Wish number 3 would be to let everyone in the world have a warm fire to be by and a roof over their heads for Christmas. Wish number 4 would be to make sure that everyone has a Merry Christmas every year.

This is beautiful.
Also, I was reading your sidebar and saw that you loved Elvis. There's a dad at our church/preschool that's a professional Elvis impersonator. Next local event we should get a sitter and go!!
