My Wish
I'm not sure if this allowed. If it's not, I will delete:
this is from my new book I just published: Catharsis for the Soul: A Book of Poetry By Jacquelyn Bartie: now available on Amazon

I wish that every breath I took
would bring you closer to me
and that every beat of my heart
would help to make you happy
***
I wish that only thoughts of goodness
would live inside your head
and every bad thing you know
would torture me instead
***
I wish that every dream you have
would have a peaceful origin
and the sickness that exists today
would never reach you within
***
I wish that every tear I cry
would bathe you clean from fear
and every song I sing for you
would be whispers in your ear
***
I wish the Heavens above
would show me your shining star
so whenever I look up
I can see right where you are
