I Wish

A stick, a stone,
It's the end of the road,
It's feeling alone
It's the weight of your load
It's a sliver of glass,
It's life, it's the sun,
It's night, it's death,
It's a knife, it's a gun
A flower that blooms,
A fox in the brush,
A knot in the wood,
The song of a thrush
The mystery of life
The steps in the hall
The sound of the wind
And the waterfall
It's the moon floating free,
It's the curve of the slope,
It's an ant, it's a bee,
It's a reason for hope
And the river bank sings
Of the waters of March,
It's the promise of spring,
It's the joy in your heart

A spear, a spike,
A stake, a nail,
It's a drip, It's a drop,
It's the end of the tale
A dew on the leaf
In the morning light
The shot of a gun
In the dead of the night
A mile, a must,
A thrust, a bump,
It's the will to survive
It's a jolt, it's a jump
A blueprint of a house,
A body in bed,
The car stuck in the mud,
It's the mud, it's the mud
A fish, a flash
A wish, a wink
It's a hawk, it's a dove
It's the promise of spring
And the river bank sings
Of the waters of March,
It's the end of despair
It's the joy in your heart

A stick, a stone,
It's the end of the road,
The stump of a tree,
It's a frog, it's a toad
A sigh of breath,
A walk, a run,
A life, a death,
A ray in the sun
And the riverbank sings
Of the waters of march
It's the promise of life,
It's the joy in your heart
