Wishes

I wish for you
warm happy thoughts
soft peaceful nights
kind lessons taught.
I hope that love
runs straight and true
but if it curves 
you’ll walk it through.
Hold to your breast
fond memories
tranquil bonds of bliss
serenity. 
When if your eyes
cloud up with tears
know that the Lord
will chase your fears.
Don’t let your smile
be doused by hate
throw it behind
won’t cross the Gate.

My wish for you
is that you see
a cherished life
is yours to be.

Thanks Diane! Poetry soup to the rescue!! I needed a reminder that I'm not totally not truly a complete absolute sourpuss! Sometimes it's good to unvent but still know when to put the lid back on. Thanks again to the soup and yourself, Diane ??

Nicely written and rhymed Michelle. far above average. The only thing I could suggest would be to change it into 4 line verses. That wouldn't change it other than to make the rhyme more prominent. Rhyme is my favorite form of poetry.
