What Wishes Wish For

March 30, 2011
By Anonymous

I wish that Earth would support her people

and that people would support their Earth.

I wish that war was only a word

and that freedom came free.

I wish that meatballs fell from the sky

and that money grew on trees.

I wish that every carnal snare would corrode and decay

and that addiction was only a myth.

I wish that wishes came true

all by themselves.

But they don't

because wishes


wish for help.

The author's comments:
I think people should do everything they can to make their wishes come true. Anything is possible with perseverance and determination. What Wishes Wish For is a small reflection of this opinion.
