A Soul's Wish List
I would wish for you
the petals of a rose
with gilded thorns.
Roots to rival the dandelion,
deep and undeterred.
A soft yellow joy of spring Jonquils.
The tenacity of a vine
Searching
for the unknown.
A gentle purring
of a distant kitten
content in its moment.
The growl
of a restrained puppy
unsure of its limits.
The faith of a mother Robin
in the fledgling’s ability.
Enough doubt
to make you cautious.
Sufficient wisdom
to make you question
all doubt.
