P-O-Y First entry
Star Light, Star Bright...
Like from child hood fantasies, we can still lose ourselves in the stars. What do you wish for when you wish upon a star?
This weeks topic ~ Star Light, Star Bright....
This is my first entry for P-O-Y
There are a thousand things that come to mind when I think about this topic, each night I pray for the things that I wish came upon me and my family. The ordinary things I pray for are the safety of my husband, that he returns home to me safe when he goes out, I pray for the health of my family and friends, I pray that my god-children get better and that the Lord gives their parents the strength to get though this hard time and I pray that we can make it day by day and live a happy and full life. These are things that I pray for more than I wish for because they are important to me and I don’t feel bad asking God for them.
There is something that I wish for that I dare not share with my friends and family. It has always been said that experience makes you wiser; sometimes I wish I didn’t have all that experience. I don’t mind feeling wise when it comes to some things, but I really wish I didn’t have to experience some of the things I have, I wish to see the world with the eyes of the innocent, I wish I could trust the way I trusted before. I don’t want to believe the world is colored pink, but I wish I wasn’t as cynical as I was before, I wish I could give people the benefit of the doubt, but lately I just doubt the sincerity in people. I wish I was just a little more loving and a little less judging, I wish I could trust and love the way I did before having so many years robbed and tainted with lies and mistrust. I wish I could trust anybody with everything and see that no matter what my words will not be twisted and misinterpreted, I wish I didn’t feel inadequate around everybody for fear of being judged.
All in all I wish life wasn’t so complicated, I wish things were easier, I wish life was fair.
