I Wish

I wish I were invited to say what's in my heart Using vibrant colors of my imagination's palette I'd paint a universe that’s bright and cheerful I wish I were called upon to scatter words Like a million stars clear across the sky I’d happily sprinkle wishes far and wide Bringing hope to every sad child of the world How I wish the clouds would open wide and I’d fold each of their tears into magical paper airplanes To reach in heaven every child's lost mom and dad AP: 2nd place 2021 Posted May 24, 2021
