Want and Desire

I want hope
To bring me something
Solid to think on
And to feel
I want a wish
To come true at once
To help me along
With today's struggles
I desire my destiny
To be revealed
So I can trace the routes
To the perfect places
I desire love
To reach me
To hold me
And to risk everything
For me

How does it feel to have one of your entries featured on this site? Everybody has wants and desires. Nobody would be human without them. You have written about yours quite well here.
