Wishes

The plane sped by

In the blue majestic sky

And as it roared by

I could not restrain a sigh

For I’d waited day and night

To go and see each lovely sight

In the golden hued morning light

And in the splendor of the night

 

The far off places beckoned to me

And oh – how I did long to see

These enchanting cities that fascinated me

The city that were as busy as bees

And as I sighed and turned to sleep

I  vowed to myself that when I retired and was free

 I would gather all my possessions and start on a spree

To fulfill  the longings that preyed upon me..
