Wishes

Leprechauns and four-leaf clovers,
Rainbow colors and raindrops hover,
Before they fall within a thundercloud.

Tree tops glisten, no one listens,
Too many busy for good-hearted rhymes,
Never quite enough time.

Ferris wheels and cotton candy,
Rollercoasters, and we lost Andy,
Panic buttons and superstitions,
Oh, please, time is so precious,

Summertime fun, family fun---
Look at all the time,
I was never too busy to listen,
Teardrops glisten as time quickens
Tim is slowly passing by,

OH LOOK!! There's Andy now!

Donna Layne Roberts 1987
