Wishful thinking

poem by: Roxanne Dubarry
Written on Jun 23, 2016

Why waste the time of day in
wishful thinking? Why spin
cobwebs in the air?
Why wish upon a star,
when no one hears?

Many years I have spent in wishful thinking.  Day dreaming most of my life away.  Wasting away the years,
Ignoring all my fears. Living in a world of make believe, wishing for a life which will never be.

Wanting to walk in some body's else's shoes.  What did I have to lose? Wanting to change places with one
of the rich and famous.   Wishing I could be rich, for most of my life. Ignoring my very best friend Jesus Christ.  Why did I think I could cope, living under a microscope?  The way the rich and infamous do!

When I no longer envyed their life styles, I still desired their money! It is not the least bit funny.  Yet I would have Jesus Christ in my life, than diamond rings. I would rather have a poetic song singing in my heart.  From the very start than all the gold and silver of this wordly life!

Love in Christ Jesus!

There is too much wishing for the impossible. Not enough doing!

Jesus Christ is my major source of inspiration, it is quite obvious to me. Without his help, I would possess no talent for composing any of my inspirational Christian poetry. He provides the words to say. He lightens my heavy ... Read more
