16-The Wish Sonnet Poem by Anthony D Bailey

For Annie S

I can see in your tired eyes and voice,
While telling me you're fed up with it;
The problems, like you're stuck with no choice,
And it won't be long before you may quit.
Oh, how I wish that I could help you out
And be able to take you to somewhere
A quiet place there is no need to shout
Where you can relax and forget despair.
Just to hold and comfort you in those times
Of gloom is at the heart of my wish,
While I do this because of my love rhymes
And this secret is one yet so foolish.
Should in this life I have one wish to grant,
It would be yours, for your life to enchant.
