Poem: Sometimes he wishes

Sometimes he wishes that his family was more loving and less hostile.
That someday they’d all get along just fine.

Sometimes he wishes that people would show him just a little more love.
And that theyd appreciate him a little bit more.

Sometimes he wishes that he could stop feeling so lonely.
That he had someone to love and to love him all the same.

Sometimes he wishes that he had a real father.
So that he can have that father-son relationship he always desired.

Sometimes he wishes that he had fewer flaws,
So that people won’t leave him to stand alone in the corner.

Sometimes he doesn’t want his wishes to come true
Because then life would be too perfect and that’s no fun.

But sometimes he prays that his wishes do come true.
At least one or a few.

He prays that God would let him know
If there’s anything that he can do to help.

Because sometimes,
wishes need a little bit of help themselves
