"Wishes"
Wish I could look into your eyes
And read what's written there,
Wish my heart could touch your soul,
And show how much I care,

Wish my mind had only pure thoughts,
And brought them into being,
Wish my heart always did what's right,
Both in giving and receiving,

Wish my crying could wash away,
Indecision, doubt, and fear,
Wish I could erase all the pain of the world,
With a lone. . .solitary tear
