One wish allotted to us

To use as we so please

Picked at our discretion

Our hope carried on the breeze

~

Out into the universe

Our wish would float away

We’d long for an answer

To please return to us someday

~

But what if we had more than one

Wish to pick and send

Would we pause for the first

Or send 10 more out instead

~

Though waiting is never easy

Patience grows with no reply

Granted or denied

Our wish becomes a helpful guide

~

A gentle nudge to push us

Just where we need to be

To fulfill a bigger picture

We’re not ready yet to see
