Notes About The Poem

Three Wishes

I snap a wishbone in half
                as I say a silent prayer...
       for a cure for all incurable diseases, 
for the eradication of the Covid-19 pandemic
                              ~
                I blow dandelion seeds
               to the murmuring breeze...
     in hopes that ongoing wars will so end
         so peace reigns all over the earth
                               ~
       I blow out my birthday cake candles
       wishing for the devastating epidemic 
            of poverty and homelessness 
                    to cease in America.
