Blowing out candles on a birthday cake
or watching a shooting star fall to Earth;
are when we make a wish, we hope comes true.

We are unwilling to dismiss magic;
for fantasy's part of reality,
stretching the limits of what hope can do.

A wish is an improbable desire;
it may be personal and unspoken,
or it may be as cliche as world peace.

The enchantment behind making a wish, 
is if we believe, we may be granted
our desire, or at least our odds increase.

A wish makes the unlikely possible,
if only in your imagination;
and it can imbue hope where there was none.

A wish lets you enter the world of dreams;
where spells and superstitions still exist,
and things, like knock on wood, are said and done.

I liken wishes to unaddressed prayers. If they are heard, they can come true.. Loved your poem Emile. Wish and hope are kinda the same and where there is hope there is a glimmer of happiness. Your poem is beautifully written. I "wish" you well in the contest . :)
