A Christmas Wish

by Richard Lawrence Belford  
12/02/2020 / Poetry

I Wish

Kids didn’t grow up so fast.
We learned from the past.
And love would always last.

I wish; every Friday that came and went.
Were followed Saturday by a special event.
Sunday nights wouldn’t feel as bleak.
And Monday’s blues didn’t start the week.

I wish; life was fair.
God granted every victim’s prayers.
And bullies got what was theirs.

I wish: underdogs would always win.
We knew now what we didn’t then.
And all mistakes were not a sin.

I wish; Spring's promise lasted all year.
Summer days were always clear.
Autumn’s leaves were more than a trend.
And Winter storms were just pretend.

I wish; Thanksgiving helped us see.
No matter where we find ourselves.
How grateful we should be.

I wish; Christmas Eve would never end.
We didn’t have to worry about what we spend.
And New Year’s Day we could start again.

I wish; dogs would live, as long as we do.
Friendships were always true.
Grandparents never felt alone.
And everyone remembered to phone.

I wish; no one hungry was denied.
Cancer was beaten by all who tried.
We didn’t have to say goodbye.
And our loved ones never died.
