Shane Cooper Poet Couplet

The Wish

I wish for a friend who would stay
I wish the sun would shine each day
	
I wish I knew what made me so blue
I wish there was something I could do

I wish that like a child I could play
I wish all the voices would go away

I wish I could hide from the hullabaloo 
I wish my smile was not always untrue 

I wish the pain would fly far faraway
I wish my lonely life could end today

Sometimes our wishes do come true 
With one step my mortal coil I now undo
