I Wish I Had

"I wish I had" Contest. I wish I had a twenty. for each homeless on the street. Enough cash bills to place in hungry- hands that I may meet. I wish I had a fifty for each “love you” I have spoken. Back then my hopes yet unfulfilled. Again, my poor heart broken. I wish I had a hundred for pains of those I savored. The money gift to help someone, who soon forgot the favor. I wish I had a thousand for each intercession made, so troubled ones would now be blessed because the faithful prayed. I wish not for a million. This large payment, I’ve received. Such quantity is worthless, unless you see one's need. 4/1/2024
