A Wish and a Prayer

A wish and a prayer

17/05/2018


Quietly I comtemplate what could have been,

And realise I really am living the dream.

I don’t dwell on the wreckage, the carnage of my past,

I reflect I digest and it allows my angst to pass.

Strength is gained from what doesn’t kill you,

Like a Phoenix you emerge, clean, bright and new.

With new perspective and zest grab life’s Bull,

By the horns with might, living life to the full.

I plodded along doing what I thought was my best,

Without ever really putting myself to the test.

And then by a bolt of lighting I’m struck,

With a beautiful message and a change of luck.

An Angel from my past felt my pain from afar,

So she sent out a prayer and wished on a star.

Her prayer was answered and my dreams came true,

For I’ve never been happier since I found you.
