WISHFUL
THINKING
Written by J.L.S.
As I sit all alone,
the kids asleep in bed,
the music on in the background,
stray thoughts wonder through my head.

My nose is stuffed;
my eyes are nearly popping out of my head;
yet I am still here writing;
when I should be in bed.

What is this perverseness in me,
that I continually want more.
I am blessed with so much already.
Please help me, I implore.

I do not understand
the ache my heart feels.
Like a hunger growing inside me;
my heart craves full meals.

One question I ask-
Is it so wrong to want share my life?
Give my heart and soul to someone;
Him my husband, me his wife.
August 2001.
