Robert James Liguori Poet Rhyme

My Wish

If I could have one wish,
away from the pain and anguish of each day,
without having to smoke my cigarettes,
or praying after prayers of how I pray.

My wish would be to be carried
by a loving kangaroo,
in her pouch from dusk till dawn,
whether it be in the wild or in a zoo.

I imagine...
I'd have unending love,
kept within the warmth
of her healing glove.

She'd nourture me and sometimes
take me out to play.
She'd be my God,
my sunshine spray.

And perhaps she'd hop around with me,
taking me on a ride,
where joy would live,
and harsh thoughts would die.

If I could have this single wish,
I'd give this kangaroo a hug and kiss.
