Take a stone
from your pocket
toss it into a lake
as each ripple rises
a precious wish you make
let ripples now that spread
be dreams that fill your head
may each ripple
that returns to you
be a beautiful dream come true

The rippling effect, may many dreams come true.
Yes True, may they indeed! 🙂
How endearing. This sounds like a nighttime prayer for a child. I bet your grandson would love it.
A prayer for all grandchildrenLisa, from 8 to 88. We are all somebody’s grandchild. We are never too young or old to dream. Wishing evolving to to dreaming, supported by the effort to make dreams come true — is far more desirable in my book than plotting to suppress and control the dreams of others. I feel ripples can be a totem of immediacy to foster mindful purposeful wishing/dreaming. Not air-headed daydreaming.
What a beautiful poem just like a blessing.
