Wishing Well
What dreams may come
of wishing wells
four leaf clovers
and stars that fell
Coin drop wishes
Three foot deep
would they come to fruition
If faith could leap?
Yet hope speaks silent
with heartfelt envy
as the dreamer dreams
and casts the penny
Willing the power of a wish to impart
a reality by reason of want
those secret yearnings begging in the heart
hoping something beyond sight will respond
I wish I may
I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight
by star or well or tunnel dark
by random penny in my shoe
by any corse a wish comes true
I've told this wish to only you
While many without faith may dismiss
I promise I will always believe in this wish
and in the things I am yet to learn
to grant me this wish I soulfully yearn
