Wishing Well

THE WISHING WELL

 

The Wishing Well stood for year and years

A beacon for lovers, for laughs and tears.

People came from far and wide,

So many coins they tossed inside.

 

So many secrets had been told,

Of hopes and wishes, dreams to hold,

Of sorrows past, for good times in store,

For peace and happiness and so much more.

 

 

Lovers strolling hand in hand,

(Perhaps hoping for a wedding band?)

From both young and old, to rich and poor

Just trying to see what Lady Luck had in store.

 

 

The Wishing Well wished with all his heart

That the dreams and wishes he could impart.

But he knew that this would never do.

He holds his secrets for ever for me and you.
