Many Wish Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Many wish for...
Love.
Many wish,
But do not get...
The peace they seek,
With claims it is sought.
So...
They remain seated.
Dreaming.

Many wish for...
Happiness.
To make them feel complete.
Believing they should scheme.

Many wish,
To get...
With promises.
But...
Do not want,
Bad enough...
To reach for what it is,
As if needed.

Many wish!
But simple do not get,
What it takes...
To make wishes happen.
