    Wishing Well

    I wish I were a wishing well
    that goes way down below
    there would be no end to
     all the wishes I would know
    patiently i'd listen
    to people rave and rant
    and I could pick and choose
    which wishes I would grant
     a child without a family
     wants someone special in her life
    then i could be the one
    to end her of her strife
    or a husband needs a job
    because he got laid off from work
    and I could be the wishing well
    to end him of his search
    we all have wishes
    this i know is true
    i wish we all could be wishing wells
    then no one would be blue

    I can't really tell you how refreshing your voice is....and beautiful. this is again, not a metaphor I'd have ever though of, and I've never seen it used this way...to express a generosity of spirit that is truly profound. you impress me sir.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
