by the old fountain

my coin fell
              short
       I searched
   among
         the flowers
and weeds

  until the
darkness came

RatMan~
I smile in admiring recognition of the talent you possess~

It is so good to see you ...
I'd throw a coin or two into your well-of-wishing
knowing that you'd do your darndest to make my wish come true~

Ed....Sad....It may be that someone will pick it up one day that really needs it. That is my wish.

I'll have to admit, that is the most likely outcome.

I was wondering, what would be the result if you tossed your coin and missed the whole fountain? Would you be risking the chance that your wish would come anti-true?

Ed, mine misses the fountain
more often than it hits
and someone always
picks it up,
hopefully
puts it to good use
though more often than not
it may go for a candy bar or soda
rather than to a truly hungry mouth

Even as the futility and loss of this pull at my heart... I feel a smile lurking because my aim is so lousy I have to just close my eyes and hope the coin hits the fountain... looking only lets me know I missed. *G*

For the known misses... I always harbor hopes that someone found the coin... and perhaps made a wish less selfish than mine would have been. *S*

The only reoccurring "lack" in my life is the fact that I always seem a little "short".
Wishing fountains have never been a disappointment. ::smiles::
regardless...
