MYSTERY OF POETRY

I WISH

I wish I could tell you it'll all be fine

But I'm sorry, honey, it's not a decision I can make for you

And I wish I could promise you beautiful times

But then again I have no control over your destiny.

Yes, I am the hope you've been seeking in others

I am the answer to all the prayers you've made for your problems

I am the magical remedy you've sought everywhere

I am the answer to all those cries for help.

I'm here to help

But then again no one but you stands a chance

To accomplish that

Don't you get it, dear

It is but clear

I can only guide you and inspire you

But the decision to get up

And walk again has to be yours.

It's your life, you see, your story

I cannot determine its plot

The characters that you let into your life

Are the ones that will end up defining it

So be careful, my dear, of the people you surround yourself with

For you are but the company you keep

Your soul is unique

It has a story of its own to craft

Be just to your heart

Respect its rhythm

So pure so intense.

I am but that hope you seek

And I hope you've found it now

And so much more

For I can't give the help you ask me for

But I can surely show you the path

Look at me carefully

As I raise my finger

And point the direction

Look I'm pointing straight ahead at ...  YOU.
