I Wish How often have you wished for something. Wishing will never get you what you want. Read the wisdom in these verses and the next time you find yourself wishing, and change that wish into a goal. Motivational Poems

I Wish Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2012 I wish I may, I wish I might, For something good to come in sight. I wish to see my shinning star, And maybe it will come tonight. And with that star I plan to wish, For all I love to come to me. My hopes and dreams I will soon see, All that's needed is to wish for thee. This is how I use to think, Before I realized wishing is like a wink. When you wink you hope to show, But never really are able to know. Wishing won't make your dreams come true, That is only something you can do. If you want something to happen, It's you who'll have to do the snapping. So if you're going to make a wish, On a night a star will fish. Make a wish for strength and courage, At least this will be something to encourage. Wishing is all fine and dandy, As long as you don't make it handy. Wishing is for you to dream, If you want success, you're better to scheme. "Wishing of all strategies, is the worst." Andrew Young		All for the Best Poet: Edgar A. Guest Things mostly happen for the best. However hard it seems to-day, When some fond plan has gone astray Or, what you've wished for most is lost An' you sit countin' up the cost With eyes half-blind by tears o'grief While doubt is chokin' out belief, You'll find when all is understood That what seemed bad was really good. Life can't be counted in a day. The present rain that will not stop Next autumn means a bumper crop. We wonder why some things must be- Care's purpose we can seldom see- An' yet long afterwards we turn To view the past, an' then we learn That what once filled our minds with doubt Was good for us as it worked out. I've never know an hour of care But that I've later come to see That it has brought some joy to me. Even the sorrows I have borne, Leavin' me lonely an' forlorn An' hurt an' bruised an' sick at heart, An' though I could not understand Why I should bow to Death's command, That it was really better so. Things mostly happen for the best. So narrow is our vision here That we are blinded by a tear An' stunned by every hurt an' blow Which comes to-day to strike us low. An' yet some day we turn an' find That what seemed cruel once was kind. Most things, I hold, are wisely planned If we could only understand.


	This poem, The Oceans Shore, is one expressing the poets thoughts about better days and the realization of what we do determines our success, even though at times we would prefer to be doing something else. We hope you enjoy the words of wisdom that the poet, Cookie, shares with us in this poetry. The Oceans Shore By Cookie As I walk along the oceans shore... The feeling of peace, longing for more... As I sit upon soft wet sand... The gentle waves, touch my hand... This Aura of wonder and tranquility... Stretching as far as my eyes can see... Watching the reflections move with the flow. Feeling the comfort, of its inner glow... Oh how I wish, this feeling would stay... As I know I must walk away... Wish I could leave all the hurt, pain and tears... Behind me along, with all my fears... Wouldn't it be nice, if we could leave on that shore... Feelings that keep in our hearts, ever more... If I wrote them in the sand, would they be swept away? By the waves crashing in, Gone on their way... Leaving us free, of DOUBTS and DESPAIR... The ocean will handle them, then we won't care... The ocean can be such a beautiful place... As our minds wonder in and out of space. I think that I already know.... We reap whatever we did sow... I will keep looking, forever more... But not what I wrote,on that OCEANS SHORE.
