My First Wish

by dollwithafrown   May 7, 2007


I've never really wished before;
Never thought it would come true.
If I had to get somewhere in life,
Wishing is not what I'd do.

I always thought my dreams would come
From working hard and strong,
Yet everyday I slaved right through
But something remained so wrong.

But then one day it was clear to me:
My family was falling apart.
Not knowing what to do, a panicky mess
I had to find some place to start.

So I went up to my window ledge
And stared straight at the cloudy sky.
I needed answers, so very much.
I just had to know exactly why.

So I spoke to God so calmly,
Explaining my life in great detail.
I wasn't used to my life in turmoil;
I never let myself fail.

"Please, God," I started off saying,
"I have a wish to make.
I need your help, please grant me this
Anything you give, I'll take."

I then walked to the garden outside,
Looked up at the sky so blue.
I smiled eloquently, patiently waiting
For my first wish to come true.
