Hearts and Wishes

by Joanne Bessom

Hearts and wishes can come in many ways
It could make or break a day
In a word, in a prayer, through a song
In between a right and a wrong

Maybe it's a heart broken
From a word that was spoken
And a wish is made of goodwill
In cheering the heart when it is still

For the soul knows where the heart has been
Giving it wisdom from the spirit within
As Love comes from the heart
Where a wish hopes never to take it apart

A tear can bring us a smile
As laughter will stay with us for awhile
A simple look, a warm sigh, a heart in tune
Knowing love will be here soon

When a heart and wish are given
May your eyes and ears truly listen
For a kind heart is a heart so true
And a wish is love speaking to you!
