Secret Wishes (poem)
Amid the warmth and comfort of his home
A child enjoys the company of love
With time to spare to let warm wishes roam
What unknown void could he be dreaming of
-
While just outside a child in bitter cold
Has learned to put his childish dreams aside
His daily pangs and hungers make him old
His wishes give his tears a place to hide
-
Twas there again that two best friends did greet
To share the fare which filled their empty day
Twas there again true meaning found retreat
While wiser hearts had grander things to say
-
Twas there they swore their wishes to renew
To prove that wishes really can come true
