I don't wish...
by Me

I don't wish life was easy anymore,
just that I had the grace to carry on.

I don't wish I knew all the answers,
just that I had the wisdom to handle the decisions.

I don't wish to have a ton of friends,
just a few close, loyal ones.

I don't wish for a ton of money,
just that my bills are paid.

I don't wish for a complicated life with all the trappings,
just a simple one with the necessities.

I don't wish for much but I should.
Maybe I should wish for things.
I don't think that would be wrong.
Why shouldn't I have hopes and dreams?

I wish for peace, in spite of the storm.

I wish for hope in the face of great odds.

I wish for strength when given heavy burdens.

I wish for endurance when I can no longer keep going.

Most importantly, I wish for love.
Love that is forever.
Love that is unconditional.
Love that is respectful, patient, and kind.

I wish for love from a partner who sticks with you through thick and thin.
Love that is not endless.

I wish for a family to love and nurture.

I wish to grow old with my best friend - the love of my life.

I wish to be settled yet travel.

I wish I knew how to be expressive.

I wish I could see my dreams come true.
