WISHES

nephilim56

Walk with me
Dearest memory
Along this path
We know so well
Take my hand
Dearest memory
Let me lead you
To a wishing well.

Observe the coins
Upon the bottom
Each a wish
That never thrived
Each dreamer
Young and old
Throughout the years
Tears cried.

Each step we take
Becomes slower
With the passing
Of time
But we still believe
Young and old
In our wishes
That never thrived.

    They say if we have nothing to wish or dream for, then what is the point, maybe why we hang on to them, enjoyed the read.

        Oh if only all those wishes thrived…. but then again on second thought not all our wishes are for our or others’ good. Provocative poem! Quite enjoyed 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊

        The reason so many play the lottery and I guess we all do in the journey of life. Very nicely written in verse

        A lot of people probably can relate to this. Great write.

        If some of our wishes come true, we can consider ourselves fortunate. I would imagine there are many coins cast in hopes that don’t materialize. I really liked your poem. It reads beautifully out loud.
