I Wish

I wish I was younger. I wish time stood still. I wish I was stronger. I wish for free will. I wish I was smarter. I wish I was unafraid. I wish I had a partner. I wish that I had prayed. I wish I had spoken. I wish I was wrong. I wish I wasn't broken. I wish to belong. I wish I was free. I wish it was all good. I wish just to be. I wish I understood.

There is nothing wrong in wishing to make things better than they are; we can't be perfectionists, but we can aim for excellency, Sandra:) Enjoyed these delightful lines. Regards // paul

I love your poem... Your last line brings forth the caution "be careful what you wish for". Have an awesome 2019, Sandra!
