Gaining Wishes
February 25, 2010
Wishes are wishes
They rarely come true.
You don't get what you ask,
You receive what you do
Nothing is gained
By those who don't seek
Nor by those
Who stand by, meek
If you want something done,
Do it yourself
Don't wait around
For an offer of help.
To do your best
And give it your all,
To stand back up
After a fall
To make wishes come true
That's what it means
To keep going forward
Still chasing your dreams
After all of the effort,
One comes to see,
Nothing worth receiving
Is gotten for free.
