Wishing Well Poem

Each and every night this 
i pray before i wake

I find in me the word's to write

The poem i wish and dreamed
i always would

That when and once it was
read by every single reader

They then believe that it was 
somehow written especially
just for them

That they can turn to when they
are at their lowest ebb , friend's
are few and darkness closes in

Word's that dose like opioid
medication to alleviate all of
their innermost distress , suffering 
and pain

Until the demons cascading 
freelance through their thoughts
are able to be caught just in time

So that they can summon up
the strength to exercise dormant
facial muscles so as to extrapolate
a smile 

That the many other people's 
lives that they unknowingly
have come to touch

Have also come to rely on in 
order to get them and help them
throughout their day as well

As to some their infectious
smile pleasant manner and
elevating demeanour

Is in part the substance and
the content of aforementioned
poem

I only hope and pray one fine
day before i die i find myself
awakening 

Truly to be blessed with the 
divine inspiration in order 
for me to be enabled to

Express these heartfelt
thoughtful word's in some
poetic form

That will do and treat the 
subject matter with
the respect and justice it so
deserves

And hopefully in doing so
somehow heal 2 hearts
with a 1 single verse 

For anyone and everyone who
cares enough to take the time
to read it
