Is To Wish To Be Wrong

I wrote this last year but nothing has changed since then!

To not live alone and be apart

To welcome love and share a heart

To take a blow without complaint

To offer peace without constraint.


To be pure when morals scream

To only see the beauty in all you dream

To show compassion to those in need

To be content with no thought of greed.


To wish for nothing and ask for less

To live a life without duress

To offer silence in a raging storm

To be yourself and not conform.


To accept the pitfalls along your path

To smile and always be willing to laugh

To see the good where others see bad

To be happy and never be sad.


To be complete with love to spare

To live in colour where nothing’s bare

To encourage and abide

To be humble and not full of pride.


To wish that fear could always abate

To offer friendship and speak no hate

To stand straight and strong beside the weak

To give the innocent a chance to speak.


Perhaps these words come from misty-eyes

And most of the things have been tried

But sentiment or not I know this much is true

I wish for a future that is better than the life I now view.
