WISH LIST

1. Wish One…

May I merely make a righteous request?
As you mark my words with a tick on life’s test.
I guess my only question is this…
Will I ever be granted anything that I wish?

I’m known to roam among the unknown
In that stillness, I remain here alone
Without doubt, my route will reveal broken bones
Whatever it takes for my sake to be shown.

    2. Wish Two…

‘Could there actually be
One who truly believes?
And if they honestly see
Could they prove it to me?’​​​​​​​

May I simply suggest
that my gracious new guest
Owns a well-built backbone
which defies all the rest?

With the heart of a sincere, sagacious old soul
Who’s willing to fulfill their God-given goal
For a most unique mind, one just like my kind
Is all I am truly seeking to find.

A benevolent being who will sit beside me
Devoid of all vengeance and hostility
And should they ever feel the need to leave
Just promise to take me with you …
Please…

     3. Wish Three
If you’re wondering where all your wishes went
Wasted wants so selfishly spent
Taken for granted, 
there’s no need for your greed.
So I wished all your wishes would come true for me.
And if they do you’ll be the first to know
because people like you will be the first to go!
