wishes

For happiness, for stickers, for glitter, for love.

Rubber ducks and rainy days. Apple cider. Shooting stars. 

Bonfires, ice cream, cats and 

      books books books books books.

For dogs in the lake, for canoes, for June.

For colored pencils, Christmas lights, my baby sister's laugh. 

Pockets full of rocks. Letters in the mailbox. 

Music every minute, with silence in between. 

Solitude. Good company. People that I love.

Blank white paper. Black ink pens. 

For spiderwebs. For seashells. For light green sprouts.

For roadtrips. Adventures. Brand-new joys.

And stories. Lots of stories, to tell and be told. 

For my brother's hug around me. 

For concert tickets, stained glass windows, jack-o-lanterns,

pirate gold.

Thunderstorms, romance, chocolate, snow.
