Poem: A Good Day for Wishes

A Good Day for Wishes  

I’m not sure which wishes
To wish for today,
Yet it seems like today
Could be a good day
For making a wish
If I had one to make,

So hard to decide
What matters the most,

So here is my plan;
It’s what I propose,

My wish will
Be broad in the
Broadest of ways,
Expansive, effusive,
Deliberately vague,

I wish for good will
In the hearts of good folks,
I wish for good will
In the hearts of mean folks,
I wish for good will
That circles the earth,
The kind that brings on
A kind of rebirth,

I wish for good luck,
And lots of good cheer,
A rainbow of wishes
I wish for
This year.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

  1. I like this part.
    My wish will
    Be broad in the
    Broadest of ways,
    Expansive, effusive,
    Deliberately vague, sounds so much like a politician.

  2. I hadn't thought of it that way but you are exactly right. They just don't come out and say they are being deliberately vague! Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem.
