Wishful Thinking

I wish those cherries would come to me.

I wish mom would take that camera back to wherever it came from.

I wish she'd turn the other way too.

Or close her eyes.

I wish...

I wish  my arms were longer

I wish my chair was closer

I wish my tongue could reach from here.

I wish cherries were for dinner.

 I wish I didn't have to wait.

I wish my powers of persuasion to be larger than they are.

I wish...

I wish my sister for an accomplice.

I wish my brother'd help me out.

I wish that daddy was near by.

He'd understand.

I wish that I was bigger.

I wish that I could be "in charge"

I wish that everyone would take a hike and let me be.

I wish that Gramsie bought those cherries.

I wish that Grama filled the bowl.

I wish that someone would have compassion on poor little me!

I wish...

I wish it was dessert time.

I wish rosy red-toned jewels for a snack.

I wish, oh how I wish 

those cherries 

would come 

to 

me.
