All This Wishing And Still Nothing

I threw all my coins into the fountain

Wished upon a star

I blew off the fluff from that dandelion

Just so you'd come back as you were.



I searched long and hard for a clover

I got on my knees and prayed

I even broke a wishone

So that you'd come home today.



I closed my eyes tightly

Hoping you'd come up in a poof

But there you weren't as I sat there waiting

You're gone forever

I hate the freakin truth.

Beautifully sad poem. My husband is going to Iraq in November. I keep hoping and wishing for his safe return.

Truth is painful, time is the medicine, all scars heal. I like this piece.
