If Wishes were Horses
If Wishes were horses
If wishes were horses then beggars would ride,
If turnips were swords I’d have one by my side.
If ‘ifs’ and ‘ands’ were pots and pans
There would be no need for tinkers’ hands

Seth Weaver
You have beautifully capture a moment of childhood innocence Shanina as only you could. I recognized the 1st line of the poem, thanks for the other lines. I guess your left arm and hand have healed, this work will testify to that. A magical image!
Shanina Conway replied
Hi Seth we often hear the first line but never the rest…I wonder what John Ray would think knowing his verse would be so popular… the arm is much better thank you;)
Empress
Hmmm… she’s making me suspicious, Shan! I’m wondering what a seemingly sweet child wishes for and I think the monkey has a few ideas, hence trying to distract her. And nice socks.
Shanina Conway replied
You have a suspicious mind Kate!
It could be a new doll or perhaps she is wishing her parents stay together..;)
