Making wishes. Part 5

By Noreen Byrne

A wish poem.

I wish time wouldn´t hurry by so fast.

Suddenly it is now, the present becomes the past.

Everyone says, ”we must hurry up, do this, do that, feed the pup.”

Listen! The telephone, the doorbell, an email, get it now!

Children calling, dogs are barking, wow- wow!

Hurry to school, hurry back home. We never have time to simply roam.

One day I was seven, the day after it seemed that I was eleven.

Al of a sudden my grandma looked older, although I never told her.

I wish that I could stop the clock and never really hear go tick-tock.

I invented this poem for my children many years ago. Now I hope you my students enjoy it.

I wish all my students and readers good health, success and happiness.
