Wishes
As the countdown to 2024 starts,
My mind takes a long look behind
And wonders what wishes, surprises
Are in store for 2025 that won’t stand
Down to the tests of time.
I wish for a world of peace
I wish for a world without violence,
I wish for justice to prevail,
I wish for family strength and unity,
I wish for a world that’s compassionate and humane,
I wish for honesty to triumph over lies,
I wish that this society’s rules made sense,
I wish, I wish, I wish…
Wishing for something and achieving
Your goal are separate indeed, as
Working hard drives you to attaining
Your objective, while just wishing for it to lands
In your lap will never happen!
