Wishful Desire
Have you ever desired something so bad yet you could not have it.
Like a sick man with cancer in the hospital wanting a cigarette.
Like a dog on a 10 foot chain with a steak sat 12 foot away
Like a kid when it’s dark outside still wanting to stay out and play
Like being in a triple nightmare wanting someone to wake you up
Like being at the movie theater wanting disrespectful people to just shut up
Like wanting your bills to stay small and few
So it is I desire to spend my time with you
Ever wish for something knowing you don’t deserve it
Like the worst acting kid wishing for the biggest Christmas gift
Like the people who leave late, hoping to catch the first bus
Like the student never doing their homework wanting to receive an A plus
Like the guilty one in jail wishing for their freedom
Like the unrepentant sinner wishing for the best seat in Gods Kingdom
Like wishing for money to buy a new outfit, when you know your bills are all past due
So it is I wish to spend some time with you
Seriously though have you ever needed something you couldn’t live without
Like the antelope running from the lion needing an escape route
Like the man after a hard day at work needs the TV remote
Like the man that has just been bitten by the killer snake needs his antidote
Like some people living in the streets needing clothes to ware and some food to eat
Like some people living in a home but without air-conditioned cant beat the heat
Like a true hearted Christian needing to read and study his Bible
Like in these financially challenged times now, wisdom is adamant to all of our survival
So it is that my heart needs to be with you and waiting painfully for your arrival
