*not always

Sometimes.......

I wish I wake up from a deep long refreshing sleep

To find I'm still a child and I just bumped into a nightmare while asleep

 

I wish there comes a huge divine life saving airship 

To lift me up and take me to a place safe and protected 

 

I wish to open my eyes in a blink 

To realize my heart isn't hurting 

 

I wish to run in deep green valleys 

Filling my lungs with pure love and dreams

 

I wish to find myself living happily 

With the people I love and who are dear to me

 

I wish to suddenly grow into the person 

I had always wanted myself to be, a childhood dream

This is like a portrayal of heaven and I love the lines" I wish there comes a huge divine life saving airship to lift me up and take me to a place safe and protected". Excuse the pun but this poem is uplifting. It generates a hope and expresses a loving desire.
Good poem
Thank you for this
Keith
