Wishing

Wishing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you wish for the day to end

Wish to get home

Wish for Fridays

Wish for the weekends to start?

 

Do you wish for the next movie

The next song

The next book

The next technology?

 

Wishing our lives away

Then it creeps up behind us

Before we know it months have gone by

Years have flown

 

Now we’re getting older

Watching the children growing up

Parents dying

Our end will soon come, should we wish?

I love your use of Rhetorical questions and the depth of thought you've put into your readers minds.
Great Stuff.

we so oftn get caught in wishing and dreaming that we forget to get out there and make it happen... well done :D

Everyone has the right to wish. Everyone also has their own dreams, their own ambitions of what they want to do in the time that they've been given. Wishing is a special thing; it can drives us to do better in order to gain those ambitions, or we just sit and fantasies about them, not acting. A lovely poem and one definitely that should be read by all poetry lovers. Thanks

[Tate Morgan]

But like all great things we enjoy
the bill one day comes due
And as your friends all pass away
you wonder if next may be you

This was a very powerful poem. Its true, how insignificant our wishes become in the end. Good write!
