I wish ...
what I bestow to the world,
would rebound like Midas magic:
my words of kindness and praise would ricochet,
like a boomerang that comes gliding back;
that a kind touch- would be a word sent with feelings.
Giving tranquility,
happiness, love, and joy:
that it would not take much- to bless many souls,
like a magic wand I could touch others with words;
like a miracle those words would return magically.
I wish what I do ... would turn around,
like the law of attraction rule:
like birds freed to fly my words drift ing,
until finding a place where they are needed to land;
words that could attract and become an embrace.
I wish that I could find just the right people,
like a magic perfect bouquet:
with a mentality like heavenly gold,
and I had stardust that I could sprinkle on the world;
and that it would magically come back to me.
I wish, wish, wish that I could change this world
but it is what it is ... it is the opposite
