Poem: Wishful Thinking

Oh, how I wish, for things to come my way.

I do wish for things in far away places.

Things that bring me joy again, keeping close to me.

No one remembers the good things anymore.

I want to hear your deep laugh.

It was from far within, that spot you only knew.

The spot that brought me happiness.

It was the kind of sign for better days ahead.

Hope is what kept my heart beating.

Allowed the ugliness to fall away in the light.

Oh, how I wish, for you to come my way again.
