A wish
Make a wish whenever you can, for it is wishes that bring us our dreams,
that's the words you whispered in my ears, still young enough to believe,
I made a wish every night, that I would always have you to hold me tight,
a wish that I would become someone, who would know wrong from right,
I threw the penny down the well, wished so hard that you could let her go,
the shooting star across the sky, a wish I made for you to wake up and know,
that I still needed you, that I could not understand why she was no longer here,
I wish I could know why you left me all alone, why you didn't seem to care,
time slowly passed by, and I grew old faster than any child should,
I guess that's what happens, without any parent to show a child love,
wishing is for dreamers, in a world they create for themselves,
they fail to see the misery, and truth that wishing will not help,
the light of that star that you wish upon at night will eventually be lost,
the coin in the well that holds your wish soon gets covered in darkness,
see wishes get forgotten, the well too deep to reach, the stars to far away,
no matter how much I wished for these thing they would not be that way,
yet wishing isn't easily broken, even as I grew, and you no longer knew my name,
deep inside my heart, a wished still lay hidden that you would return to me again,
now you have gone away from me, and I think I finally starting to see,
that no amount of wishing in my dreams, will bring you back to me.
---
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Re: A wish
Like the old phrase "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride." But you know, Mark, the purpose of a wish isn't to get what we want. You never get that by wishing. The purpose of a wish is to give you hope, give you something to dream about, to make the next day something you want to see--just in case you get your wish.
Some wishes can never come true. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't wish them. The more impossible the wish, the more you need to make it. Wishes,dreams, impossible hopes... They are what keep us truly alive inside. Without them, we have nothing to hold on to.
You always write beautiful words. Your feelings, thoughts, emotions are in every word. This is a beautiful poem, Mark.
So now, instead of wishes and dreams and hopes, you have memories. The beauty of memories is that unlike those wishes that don't come true, dreams that fade and hopes that become lost, memories are forever.
Remember the first line of your poem, Mark. Those are possibly the most important words you will ever hear.
