Wishes are not like prayers,
They do not pause to consider,
What is right or what is best.
Wishes don't knock or wait in lines,
Wishes don't recognize borders,
A wish will never worry or stress.
Wishes hear our deepest desires,
Blind to deception and deaf to lies,
Words are wind to these ethereal beings.
Wishes don't gamble or cheat,
They don't understand money at all,
A wish will never pay for anything.
Wishes are stoic, swift, serene,
Subtle as a star in the day, as wind on waves,
Eagles eyes could not catch a wish in flight.
When prayers won't do,
If hope has no chance,
Wish for a wish,
For a wish just might.
