The Wishing Well

Cast your eyes deep into the well.

Make a secret wish, nobody to tell.

Whisper your wish…3 times more.

Talk to the well, that’s what it’s for.

 

Throw a coin down a well of stone.

That’s what I do, when feeling alone.

Believe in the well, eyes closed tight.

As that’s what I did one starry night.

 

Ignore the boundaries’ of the mind.

Trust in the well and magic you’ll find.

Awaken parts of your brain that sleep.

Anything is possible, so take that leap.

 

That’s what I did, and what did I see?

Your smiling face looking back at me.

When days are long, when I miss you.

The well is there to help me through.
