MY LAST WISH

One coin left inside my pocket,
I came upon a wishing well.
Hesitantly I tossed it in,
Now only time will tell.

Whether my wish will be granted,
Or, I shall be denied.
Peace of mind or empty pockets,
At least I know I tried.

Once I had so many coins,
All were wasted in the past.
Broken dreams, and empty promises,
Now I'm down to my last.

Life is but a coin toss,
Whether or not your dreams come true.
With my eyes closed, I heard the splash,
Then wished that I had you.
