A few honest "Really Wishes"...

                                                                                                                   

Really Wish...I had not veered left...when I should'a turned right...

Really Wish...I'd of spent more time enjoying the day...after a really long night !

Really Wish...I hadn't let things get to me so much...

Really Wish...I had spent more time...in the arms of her loving touch.

Really Wish...I had enjoyed more bologna sandwiches by the beach...

Really Wish...I had listened to more folks...instead of trying to preach.

Really Wish...I had spent more time and money invested in a hobby...

Really Wish...I had slapped the face of some of the one's that treated me snobly.

Really Wish...I could take a quick orbit...out into Space...

Really Wish...I never had to go around each day...trying to save face.

Really Wish...you had never gone off to War...

Really Wish...things was like they were before.

Really Wish...We were on the same page...a lot more often...

Really Wish...I had thanked more people along the way...from all the help I've gotten.

Really Wish...I could have spent more time...seeing all the sights...

Really Wish...I'd of already seen my book's name...up in lights !

Really Wish...I'd have never gone to Oklahoma...though I'm really glad I did...

Really Wish...I'd have been more concerned about my future...when I was a kid.

Really Wish...You would not frown so much...these days...

Really Wish...I would not have turned down...so many wrong ways.

Really Wish...I was having more fun today...

Really Wish...I could write this Ok...and have the right words to say.

Really Wish...I could have just by-passed High School...

Really Wish...I would see more folks living by the "Golden Rule" !

Really Wish...You had not grown up so fast...

Really Wish...There had been a way to make many more moments last.

Really Wish...My Hometeam had won at least one Super Bowl...

Really Wish...Chicken Soup was...actually good for the Soul.

Really Wish...All my dreams would come true that I've been wishin'

Really Wish...I was on a quiet cove right now...fishin' !

Really Wish...We had more time together...

Really Wish...We never had to be aware that there was changes in the weather.

Really Wish...I could jump over cars on a motorbike...like Evel Knievel use to...

Really Wish...I had not been through...all that you have put me through.

Really Wish...I could speak more often...exactly from my heart...

Really Wish...I'd finish more projects...before the next one comes around for me to start !

Really Wish...I could not have said the things I said...

Really Wish...I had more time to straighten each flowerbed.

Really Wish...I could take a Race Car out for a spin...

Really Wish...I could scream for no good reason...instead of holding it in.

Really Wish...That Airplane Flight Tickets were as cheap as a book of stamps...

Really Wish...I could eat jalepanos still...with out getting stomach cramps.

Really Wish...I could have a very long day...just to be bored...

Really Wish...I had tried out more of my ideas...that I eventually ignored.

Really Wish...That my love and I could go somewhere peaceful and hide...

Really Wish...I would'nt boast for anything...and swallow all my pride.

Really Wish...I could run down to the lake...like I use to...with that ol' dog...

Really Wish...I was by a campfire now...I can smell the pine burning...as I add another log.

Really Wish...But...Oh...What does it even matter...

What I really wish...I'll just have to wait for...as I get madder and madder.

I have wished and wished...and really...Where has it gotten me thus far...?

Has anything worked out like I wished for...then why even concern myself...when I see a falling star?

Does everything that you ever wished...come true?

Does everything that is really true...become something you wished for...What say you?

I really wish and wish...and then end up...wishing my whole day through...

I never really help...one thing by wishing...Why then do I wish...I wish I knew ?

I really wish...that I never even had to wish...before each wish ever has to be said...

I wish that all my dreams would come true...without another wish having to be wished...instead !

A Wish...a Real Wish...is as fleeting as the wind...

But I...my friend...was born to wish...so here I go wishing...one more time again !

What a wonderful idea to start a list of wishes. The bologna sandwiches took me back to my childhood that was full of optimism and wishes of dreams come true. Thanks for sharing your wishes and may they all come true.

Money Glitch: You said it all right there: "The bologna sandwiches took me back to my childhood that was full of optimism and wishes of dreams come true." Back to when we believed all our wishes would come true...while we enjoyed the simple things to life...and were complete in that simple moment. Although some of these wishes of mine are done in hindsight...Thank you your kind wish...that all my wishes come true. Same wish for you!

And thank you for reading and commenting on this one with your catching the simplicity of a bologna sandwich on a beach...Great comment! Best regards and "Wishes", Signed, MPM

Wow...that was a long one! But it was great! By the way..I don't wish I would have slapped someone who treated me snobly, because I didn't have to wish, back when I was young I didn't think I just slapped or punched!! lol I really liked this one!

Pachuca213; Good for you...I applaud your taking action against those that treated you snobly. Some of the ones that have acted that way towards me...really get in my crawl! Even though I am a forgiving person by nature...and haven't struck anyone since I was thirteen...(don't know if I remember that correctly or not)...Some of the ones that got to me...well...let's just say it would be fun to go back in time and see the expression on their face ... if they get a good "whop'...when they thought they was so smart. HHHHMmmm...maybe I have deeper issues with this then just one line in a poem...Oh well, Whoops! Always good to see you...and I was going to pop over this week to read your "Tijuana Nights" Hub...and still am. Thank you for your kind comments...and for reading this one. Glad you thought it was great! Best Wishes and Regards to you, Signed, a fellow "poet" friend, MPM

You have hit the nail on the head.

Don't we all spend so much of our time wishing? Wishing the things past were different, wishing today would hurry by, wishing tomorrow would be better?

Suddenly we realize we've just wished our lives away, and we wish we could start all over again.

Nice

miss_jkm: You are exactly right. Overall...other than some fun jabs...and remorseful reminders...this one is of the futility of "Wishing". Kind'a of depressin' if you catch yourself wishin' and wishin' for things at another day...and realize that all you end up holding time after time is some wishes. But...everyone has their own concept of wishes...so I won't try to sound too depressing on this topic. Afterall...many wishes do come true...even if it was long after we remembered what we wish for! Thank you for this great look into "Really Wish". Appreciate this great comment. Best of success to you in all your writings...and in all your "wishes". Humbly, MPM

prettydarkhorse: Hey...you'd make a fine mermaid...: ) ! I wish that what you said about folks having the same thinking...would happen. And I wish...a few people would come around...to a better way of thinking...ha! Appreciate your comment here on "Really Wish"...and for the reading of it. May all your wishes come true and...

Mickey Dee: Really Wish...I could be on a bright shiny bicycle exploring the Carolina Mountains! Ya' wan'na race? The ol' girl (tractor) is a lot of fun to drive...your Welcome to take her for a spin the next time your in Texas...but she ain't half as fast...as them speedy bicycles of yours. I tell her I'm going to install a set of peddles on her...all the time to help her out...and save on gas. That's when she usually stalls out on me...that dad-berned tractor!

Thanks for your comment, MD. Best of success with all your writings! Humbly, MPM
