I don't know if I like this one, but if someone else does, Im happy. And if it helps someone at all with anything, Im even more happy.


If wishes were horses then beggars would ride,
If wishes were wings, then I could fly.
If wishes were stars, then I would shine.
If wishes were helpful, I'd be by your side.
If wishes came true, then I would never have cried.

If wishes were real,
I wonder how many lies I could've erased.
I wonder how many heartbreaks would never have been
I wonder how different I'd be today.
Because I don't need wishes to ride.
And the ones that never came true,
The ones for which I've cried,
Have helped me to be what I am today.
They've pushed me to see,
That if you can make it through the tough times,
Even with tears in your eyes,
Then you are strong,
And you won't ever need wishes to ride.

This was good. And no I'm not just saying it because you read my work and liked it. I'm saying it because it really was nice. I liked it a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Dang Rich, I don't know WHERE you are when I write these! But at least you took the time to look them up.
I think you missed one, called To Tomorrow. Normally I wouldn't bring it up, but only one person commented on it and that makes me wonder.
