Author's Notes: "My wish for you," is a free verse poem that my wife, Ingrid, and I collaborated on together. We both feel that the words of this poem speak for themselves, especially with its end-message for a soul to be transformed into a life on Earth to help "to bring love and light into brightness there." The process of self-awareness and self-responsibility is through turning your focus within and discovering your divine essence and capability, whereby you are able to step out of your daily consciousness into your authentic power as a child of God and the divine sparkle God created. And so, "My wish for you" is indeed a wish "from soul to soul" for that process. Gary Bateman - April 22, 2017 (Free Verse)

Categories: allegory, earth, god, inspiration, light, love, and symbolism.

My wish for you Whenever I see you in the midst of the struggle of life dealing everyday with issues, problems, and affairs; I wish you could see yourself the way God would see you: The bright light in the middle of Earth’s life struggle— bright, shining, and brave. My wish for you would be you could feel one time the love that God has for you: His love for you as a bright and brave soul, that God sparkle he created in the best of all moments of creation; the perfect time to bring a soul into life to fulfill its mission here on Earth; to bring love and light into brightness there.

Hello Sunita!! Thanks for your read and wonderful words here. This highly inspirational write was very strongly influenced by my wife, Ingrid, who devolved the original concept. Her direct influence has truly helped to focus on transformation writes like this one with their uplifting nature. We're both pleased that you liked this verse!! Cheers and Best, Gary

Beautifully touching and warm as a wonderfully delicious strudel. Best part, Ingrid and Gary, is that you have chosen to share this will us all.:) I am still thawing out from that ruthless cold. If you see an iceberg heading your way, please wave.:) Keep well, stay happy!! Mikki

Hi Ingrid and Gary, this is a wonderful collaboration. Your words fit so well together in a write of love. All love starts from God therefore love in its essence is eternal. I follow closely each line and i see the essence of love. You should write more together for your words can inspire and love does flow in the words. In love both heart and soul must shine. This write came from both heart and soul. I hope you are both well. Your Friend Always....Mike. This is a definite 7 and a fave.

Hi Gary: A very positive poem especially in collaboration with your wife. In a world where people write books on atheism and espouse it,The new revolution should be a belief in God again. My sincere compliments!

This poem is an unabashed declaration by the author that God is love, and he offers that love to you. You and Ingrid process a poetic soul, that breathes magic into your words, and they come alive as they impart feelings onto the page. Emile. $7
