Carole Duet Poet Rhyme

Wishes

All my wishes I give to the sea.
  in a blue bottle for him and for me.
They'll glide slowly on the waves 
  on a bright moonlit night
  to a distant land far out of sight.

They'll ebb and flow with the tide
  until they rest upon a sandy beach.
A lonely wader will come by 
  and find the blue bottle
  at his bare feet.

Or he'll be sitting in a yellow chair
  and  see it shining through the salty air.
He'll read my wishes from the sea
  and put his own in the bottle
  that someday will travel back to me.
