Wishes and Prayers

one should never say' "i wish"

for wishes never come true

one should always say, "i pray"

for with prayers, one can move mountains

throughout my heartaches

through all my pain

with my every teardrop

i often wished

and seldom prayed

with that said

i now realize my faults

i wished that you were my missing half

that we were soulmates

i wished that we would last

beyond eternity

i wished we would be together

even in the afterlife

i wished forever with you

but look at us now

i pray for your happiness

i pray for your peace of mind

know that you'll always have a part of me

the part i know i can live without

i WILL be whole without you

for that is what i prayed for

and prayers are ALWAYS answered
