I Wish

I wish I had wisdom
I wish I knew
the right words
I wish you could know
what is in my heart
I wish I had answers
to the dark places
A map through the maze
a compass to guide me
I wish I had a
a new me to bring
a better me to be
A soul not in tatters
A life not in ruin
I wish I had
a voice you could hear
a song you wanted to sing
a story you wanted to read
I wish I could
turn back the path
unwalk the steps
never taken the risk
never learned the truth
never shattered the dream

Beautiful! Now, could I have a poem about the YOU that I believe in? The Sarah of hope and trust? The Sarah that God created? The one I see through the beautiful dark words? The Sarah of Light? Just one? No one lives in the dark all the time. Love you, Sharie
sharie dear,
they are all about me i guess. some dark, some not so dark. sarah of light, sounds like a gothic novel. thanks for reading dear one.

Sarah,
You do have a voice that I and many others delight to hear. I thank you for sharing that voice in this public forum for so many to hear. In all of the outpourings of your heart that I have been privileged to come across I have certainly found wisdom, words that reveal your heart and a beautiful song worth hearing. I only hope you find what it is you are looking for.
Blessings,
wayne

Deserve them, you do! Accept them, I guess you will, for now you have no choice. And believe them, well that is the hardest part and I hope that day is approaching. Thanks again for the inspiration you are on my own journey of self expression.
hi wayne,
thank you for this. i’m speechless.

There is nothing like arriving at an old familiar site after a long like, sitting down, sipping a cup of tea and feeling grateful that you found it still intact.
That’s exactly how I feel right now.
Good to read you again Sarah. I have some catching up to do.
oh spaz,
i can’t tell you how happy it made me to see your name here. i’ve missed you. yes, let’s catch up.
