If Wishes Could Work

If wishes could work
for a happy new year
then I would wish for
peace
If wishes could work
for a happy new year
then I would wish for
contentment
If wishes could work
for a happy new year
then I would wish today
for all of humanity
faith and solidarity
Unlike our childhood
moments these things
we cannot wish
yet we can strive to
foster
goodwill
within every day
little by little our world
will change into a more
caring compassionate
place.
With childish longings I wish for you
peace, contentment, faith, solidarity,
and goodwill throughout 2007

And I would wish the same for you -- and more love than your heart can hold.

Pauline, my sister, Jackie, from Annals of a Snowbird, has been trying to leave comments here and not succeeding. It is because in your settings menu you must have indicated you want comments only from Blogger accounts, and she is typepad.

Pauline, if wishes could work - I'd wish for your wishes! Happy New Year.

This thing STILL won't let me comment using the typepad account I have now - but I'm going to try to post this using my old blogspot address and see if I get through!
