Wishing Well
Jim Stewart c 2017 

I guess I always wished,
I knew what was in that well.
That made it so magical.
For a mere penny
Your wish could come true .
Imagine that.
A mere penny.
What a bargain.

I wondered if it was only good,
for one wish.
One wish to a customer.
Or could it be good for multiple wishes.

As a young boy who liked to dream
My world was full of hope.
No, I'm gonna save up
For one big wish.

Everyday I passed that well,
Just waiting for the right wish to come along.
Then one day it happened.
I new just what I wanted.
I ran up to that well.
Looked inside.
Then it happened.
I closed my eyes, made my wish
And tossed my penny in that well.

Now here I am years later
Still waiting on an answer.
But, I know ,
If I can sill dream and hope,
That one day, Yes one day.

My wish will come true .
