If you wish, you might receive,
all a matter of how you believe.
But if you wish, you better be sure,
for the fates may use it as a lure.
To see if your strength is up to par,
examined like a specimen in a jar.

The fates don’t judge, nor condemn,
only rub their hands now and then.
Set up tasks to test your will,
but the choices are yours even still.
Freedom to do as you please,
with wishes you wanted and did receive.

If heartbreak comes with what you got,
you have to continue with your lot.
There is no sense to cry and moan,
the wish was yours, not a loan.
So straighten your shoulders and go your way,
the past was back, it was yesterday.

There's an old saying about being careful what you wish for.  Sometimes, this proves very true.  Neat poem.

Yes, but I think the fates should stop trying to lure me into the wrong choices  
This is a wonderful write, Logan, truly. And I kind of believe it, though I have my problems with Ms Fate.

Ahh...you are very wise Mr. Logan    I shall try to keep this little nugget of wisdom in mind throughout life!  Perhaps I should add this to my library just to be on the safe side  
A beautiful write as always,

Ecellent write full of wisdom, how many wishes do we get?

Do not fear going forward slowly,
Fear only standing still.
