The Wishing Well

 

I wished for blue skies

They turned out grey,

I yearned for tomorrow

While it was still "today,"

I wanted dozens of friends

Who were all tried and true

I looked far and wide

But found only a few.

 

I dreamed of a future

Where riches abound,

And searched with a vengeance

But "nothing" I found.

To reach success

Was my Life's main goal

But I climbed the ladder

Without my Soul.

 

Life seemed a failure

All my dreams were shattered,

Then I met You Lord

And nothing else mattered.

Do wishes come true?

Who really can tell?

Yet I found Life and Hope

At my Wishing Well.
