If Wishes Come True

It is not uncommon to harbour wishes
And striving for accomplishing them
Life is but a never ceasing endeavour
Aimed at gratifying, its constant needs.

Human beings entertain diverse wishes
Some are intuitive and many conscious
A few are noble and bulk unrestrained
That constitute the anthropoid character.

If wishes are horses; beggars would ride
How true is this adage, heard frequently
To assuage feelings of beleaguered hearts
A practice employed by all and sundry.

Thank God all our wishes do not fructify
Leaving scope for destiny to carry out
The fine tunings of the life’s orchestra 
Operate to fulfil wishes of Lord Almighty.
