“If wishes were fishes…”
Wishes are the currency of those without
The poor, the lonely, the broken, the helpless
And the dreamer of dreams
But all have indulged in their implied promises
Who has not wished on a star or a birthday cake
Who has not tossed a coin into a well or a fountain
And quickly tossed in a wish after it
But there are wishes and there are wishes
Some are simple wishes…fanciful and delightful
“I wish I were a princess” or “I wish I could fly”
Some are more hopeful and full of longing
“I wish I had a sister” or “I wish I could find true love”
And then there are soul wishes, holy and sacred
Less a wish or a hope and more a prayer
“I wish my family was healthy” or “I wish all men were brothers”
“I wish I could be happy” or “I wish I could be healed”
They are from a deeper well than the wishing place
And they are not aimed at fountains or stars
Yet fanciful or sacred, hopeful or full of longing
The dreamer must dream and the wisher must wish
Though a thousand prayers seem to go unanswered
There is always enough hope to offer one more
So dream your dreams and wish your wishes
Offer your prayers and dare to believe
None go unnoticed...none go unheard
For they do not go forth into some unknown void
But into the Heart of Hope itself
And lovingly does He receive them all
