I Wish
Listen to poem:
I Wish
David J Walker
I wish
I wish
I wish
The fish
Besides the flying fish
Could fly
As high as any
Bird you ever heard
Of flying
I am trying
to wish the crying kid
Could fly or swim
An afternoon whim
Of swimming
And try to fly
Flying high
And swimming fast
Past a full moon
And cast a June moon shadow
At night
How would I know if
“Things are different”
And this is what I wished for
In a past life
How would I know if
This isn’t a second chance
In a redo-second life
How would I know that
The gods are annoyed with me
Because I was right
I wish I may
I wish I might
I wish I could start over
I wish I had more time
Flight is good as any wish
Bait the hook
catch the fish
