What Is It That You Wish Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What is it that you wish.
As a year to soon leave,
Takes its final bow to forget.
Will you wish for the new year,
Appear less than the old one.
With you motivated to get things done.
Or begin again what was left unfinished.

What is it that you wish.
More of what you have to have had.
Or just leave it behind.
And commit to be done with it.
However...
Whatever it is you wish to get.
Stop wishing for it to come to you.
Since it maybe waiting,
For you to make up your mind...
With this done to finally do.
Without the repetition of your fears to excuse.
