A Silent Wish Poem by Mark Dillon

A Silent Wish

Rating: 5.0


While driving people to and fro'
as through the hustle and bustle
of the season they go,
Preparing for that special day,
where families come first
and children hold sway.
I think of those who are not with us now,
and ponder a moment, thinking back how.
How we shared some great moments
in the time they were here.
And for that which we shared
I shed a tear.

I think of my family and friends
living both far and near.
Wishing them all the best and prosperity
in the coming new year.
Wondering what the future will hold
as calamities from around the world unfold
a darker side to the human soul.

And a silent wish comes to mind
for God to look down on mankind.
And see all the suffering and great sorrow.
and grant us hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Many people have cavities or broken teeth, with all the dentists in the world, why? It is their choice to go to the dentists for help and if they don't go they stay broken. Same with God. We must go to Him, It is a choice we make. Free will...
