Willful Neglect

In youth I often wished on stars I thought the largest ones came true. But longing never got me far So wishing ceased, long overdue. As I matured and ventured out Into a world so alien. A lesson learned I had no doubt Was always take it on the chin. In life there are setbacks galore A definite fact to expect So never sit and wish for more Since wishing is willful neglect. When in life your dreams are plenty Strive for them, fools wish for many.
