Wishes For My Future.......[short; Personal]

Rating: 1.0


To bring my marriage to a pleasant, successful end…
To be, for a few, a true and tolerable friend…
To help someone every day of my life…
To see a world (fat chance! !) without any strife…

To not live too long and not live too poorly…
To eat a healthy diet but have some sweets, surely…
To have health care 'as needed', but not too often…
To have those who oppose me, to me their hearts soften…

To 'see' my only child, Shannon, enjoy life and succeed…
To hear of more people sharing, and fewer with greed…
To grow a few veggies and see lots of birds…
To amuse myself and others as I make poems from words

(Nov.2010)

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I don't mean bring my marriage to an 'end' in a bad way. I can do without growing the veggies (my wife uses enough precious water on non-edibles outdoors) as long as i can still buy food at stores.

Yes, it is always better to be healthy and rich than poor and sick. And besides, live well and let live others well or even better… He-xe-xe.

Bri is now busy busy in his showcase, so I opened his old suitcase, and I found in it a lovely shirt, with a print of pink lips narrating his first flirt.

Well, I don't know about the others, but you have certainly succeeded with your last wish.

Hi Bri, Beautiful wishes, with nice rhyming too, and so well presented, I hope they all come true :) My wish; I wish that someday I'm brave enough to really have wishes. Right now just having today is good enough for me and has been for a long time. Darla :)
