If I Had One Wish

Life be upon me
   I too swim to the surface
Will I too die in this strife

I look up, yet down
   Will the sun shine on me again?
If only I had one wish

Well J, I really hope your wish came true. Life sometimes overwhelms us but there is a way hope becomes our life jacket. Thanks for sharing this with us. Check your soupmail. Your friend, Adeleke

Excellent writing, Jeremiah. I'm asuming that one wish would be life. Is life in the balance for you? I hope that all is well. God bless you.

Great image, it made me think about a coast, rocks and a greenish sea, perhaps gray; thanks a lot for the experience; by the way, what would be such wish?=)
