Wish
Rothya James
Wish I had a nickle
for all I've never done
I'd rake up the money
and give it to a fund
Wish I had a dime
for all the things I did
I'd take that money
show people how to live
Wish I had paradise
at the drop of a hat
Wish I hit life's curveballs
with a gold plated bat
Wish I had the good times
and none of the blues
Wish the world was all good friends
and everything was cool
Wish I had a tight squeeze
to leave the porch light on
Wish I'd see that smile of yours
each morning with the dawn
Wish I had a real wish
a wish that could come true
The wish to wish one wish
and I'd wish that wish for you

Poems
It take daring to love, Audacity when it's lost Fighting injustice makes you justified, ignoring injustice makes you unjust Men make circle in life and women are at the center To love someone is to surrender yourself and in so doing completes you The beauty of youth is foolishness the beauty of age is reflectiveness the beauty of life is both Women want to be adored men wish to be honored Big ideas can make you heroic small ideas can make you frivolous no ideas can make you invisible Don't fear life, embrace it, shape it and you can form a h eaven A perfect day is rare, and imperfect day strives for perfection Knowing yourself and you can withstand any tragedy, not knowing yourself creates tragedy By Rothya James
