Spare Change
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
A pocket full of change
Cast into a well of hopes
For wishes we exchange
Some will wish to find true love
Others for fame and wealth
The young may wish for a longer life
While the old wish for health
Friends may wish to ease the pain
Of a loved one fallen ill
Or when the road gets rough
They wish for strength and will
A few may ask for selfless things
Like cures and world peace
To stop the violence in our streets
And all the suffering to cease
But today I toss without a wish
My money you have tendered
It’s just my way of saying thanks
For all the wishes rendered
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
Lobbed into a wishing well
Such a simple, yet sacred place
For hopes and dreams to dwell
