Wishes or hopeless
Broken down or growing,
They may have abruptness
Without you knowing;
All is made from this
What you come to know,
Like a daydream bliss
Or a moment glow.

Wishes or hopeless
They are here today,
Always new and fresh
When they go or stay;
With nothing too much
Only dreams to go by,
With every life's clutch
That catch them in a fly.

Wishes or hopeless
Like those gone before,
For some get jadedness
To never be for more;
Let the dreams come true
If you have the ways,
Something might continue
Have a valued cachets.

Peter S. Quinn
