Where Do Wishes Fly? Poem by Atara Gedalowitz

We wish, we wish,
For many things
But where do wishes fly?
Scattered, wasted,
Upon the ground
Or floating in the sky

We dream, we dream,
Of places far
Then look about and sigh
Missing, missing,
What's all around
The wonders we pass by

We hope, we hope,
For better times
But do we often try
To make our world
A sweeter place
With dreams and actions high

'We could, we could'
Won't do a thing
It's just an empty cry
If there's no cause
There's no effect
No truth inside that lie
