sometimes when you pass
a wishing well
think about all the wishes
that people swore never to tell.

sometimes when on the clock
11:11 glows
think of all the people stopped
dreaming as they let their eyes close.

let yourself hope and when
you dream
think of what you have
because what you have is better than it seems.

but when you feel like nothing
is left
close your eyes and wish
and put your mind at rest.
