Wishes

Wishes

I wish I liked rice pudding,
I wish I were a twin,
I wish someday a real live fairy
Would just come walking in.

I wish when I'm at table
My feet would touch the floor,
I wish our pipes would burst next winter,
Just like they did next door.

I wish that I could whistle
Real proper grown-up tunes
I wish they'd let me sweep the chimneys
On rainy afternoons.

I've got such heaps of wishes,
I've only said a few; 
I wish that I could wake some morning
And find they'd all come true!

I finished these little wish and blessing bottles today, they're full of special wishes and blessings.  But not that your pipes would freeze!                    Diane

Cute poem. I had about 30 boxes and furniture store in my in-laws basement in Canada and one year the pipes did freeze. The basement flodded and many things were ruined and lost in the mess. Oh well! Best wishes to you for a wonderful day. Tammy
