My Wishes

Nothing too specific.

I always want the best for people. I want smiles on children and moments of pause for those who feel they're being weighted by too many stresses. I want my friends to harmonize and my family to flow. I want love in droves with an ocean's equal returning it. I want people like Arturo, Tyler, Lanny, Randy, Joshua and Jorge to remember with smiles our times as I do and I hope to know them for many years to come. I want my sister to be the woman she doesn't even know she's capable of yet and my brothers to be the fathers that they never had. I want contentment in what I have and curiosity in what could be. I never want myself to let pain become so dull that it's accepted as part of everyday living.

I want you to know I love you.
Even if I never say it.
Even if I only write about it in vague metaphorical phrases.
I want you to know I want your love.
Even if I never ask for it.
Even if I have my arms out blocking your approach.

I wish nothing too specific.
