How I Wish Poem by Valsa George

How I Wish

Rating: 5.0


How my mind, as that of a child
Frivolous and foolish, seeks solace
In a fictitious world of make believe
While reality, like a fiend stares right on my face!

Waiting for none, the globe continues to spin
And seasons arrive and depart without default
Yet how I wish to think,
With my exit, the world will come to an abrupt halt

When I am gone and lie cold under the sod
And my memory no more lingers
How I wish to feel
My absence continually injures

Gains and losses when added up
Weighs equal on life's dispassionate balance
Yet how I wish to boast
With success alone, I ever had my alliance

Though I never reached the peak I sought
And faltered on my way distraught
How I wish to console
I got everything for which I had fought

Future awaits me with gloom and gaiety
And victory is certain to follow defeat
Yet how I wish to proclaim
Here is one for whom life shall ever be a treat!

Yet how I wish to proclaim Here is one for whom life shall ever be a treat! Very thought provoking and soul searching. I hope, of course at the end of days, that your fair wish be granted. Thanks Valsa.

Sometimes life becomes a little unpleasant, when the bad patch is washed by a shower of plesant thingswe truly enjoy the new pleasures of life and we forget the unpleasant moments. We hate to take bitter medicines during sickness but when we are cured we look at those medicines as driend looks at another helpful friend. A lovely and thoughtful poem by Valsa George.
