"Ebb"
I used to wish that dreams came true,
but now know, they don't.
I use to wish that I could fly,
but now know, I need a plane.
I used to wish in Unicorns,
but now know, it's my imagination.
I use to wish that I was tall,
but know that I'm small.
I used to wish that I could disappear,
but now know, to face my fear.
I used to wish there was no pain,
but now know, to grieve.
I used to wish there was no death,
but know that life still goes on.
I used to be a wishful tyke,
Now, I am an adult.
I used to wish.
Wish,
?

"I wrote this Poem in
the shape of a Question Mark for ONE reason only. When yu realize "Why" you've lost your innocence... it floats away!
I wrote it while in Mr. Henry Gonshack's class one day
at Montana Tech while thinking of my Missing Brother and Chanc became Sadly Enlighten."
Rich's climbing gear is on my wall.
As long as someone stays in your heart they will never be forgotten.
