My One Wish Poem by Mathew Sutter

I have a book,
Full of wishes.
All these things I want more then anything else in life.
Not all of these wishes come true,
Of course,
I keep on wishing.
But the one wish I wish for the most,
Is that of understanding.
I want to understand this world,
More than anything else.
I wish it with all my being.
I feel lost in this world so big,
And it would help me so much,
If I could just understand.

I have a book full of wishes,
But the only one I really want will not come.
I am told I am not ready,
But I think you are confused.
I don't think the world is ready,
But I know that I am.
I will open my arms the first chance I get.

I want only my one true and pure wish to come true,
And to this day,
I still wish for it.
And I won't stop.
