Wishing
I have often looked at stars
and thought
why wish so high and far?
when greater chance
for happiness
can be near where you are:
The extended hand of a neighbor
more than happy to share the labor
A warm greeting smile
from one
no further than a corner-store aisle
(perhaps...there's an overlooked heart~
dearly longing for a tender part)
Often, our best way forward
if at all possible
is to humbly begin again at the threshold
of a wrong footed start --
