Poems from Wishes
By Garry Cleveland Myers, P.H.D.
Co-Founder Highlights for Children
The wishes
that I wish
Are not of things
to sell or buy
But of those things
that I
Can make come true
myself.
Of things
that perish never,
Of things
that last forever.
* * *
When a body neither sees
nor hears
What's not present to his eyes
and ears;
Has no imagination
Or practice in creation;
How can anyone
Like that have fun?
I wish I had more wings
in my head
And more temptation
To fly on them
With my imagination.
