Poetry in Notions, Part III

If Wishes Were Real

By Toby Weingarten


Never make a wish, unless you really mean to

Because wishes are really quite miraculous

They should never be used on the trivial few

Or on things that are considered too frivolous.

You need to save them up until the time is right

Announce them to the whole wide world, so loud and clear.

Erupting in a shower of triumphant light

Erasing every single doubt and dark fear.

An explosion composed of your hopes and dreams

At just the right moment to change a dismal life

For the darkness is never as dark as it seems

With love and fortune more common than pain and strife.

If wishes were real, in such a dazzling display,

Then what would happen, if you made a wish today.
