MY WISH

Counting all your blessings
Giving thanks for each new day
Expressing untold gratitude
Has never been your way.

There’s food upon the table
Everything  you’d ever need
A new car and a fine home
But, you’re not tethered or chained to me.

I know you’re longing and you’re wishing
Looking for that something more
You’re anxious and uneasy
There’s something you are  searching  for.

Convinced there’s something out there
Something waiting just for you
Something different and amazing
That will make your dreams come true.

Not my style to try and stop you
It’s not my philosophy
To try and hold you back
To  try and keep you here with me.

My wish is for your happiness
I hope you will  return
But there are many lessons left
That you have yet to learn.
