Each year, on my birthday, I have had a birthday cake. <br /> Each year I have had to blow the candles out, and make a wish. <br /> I don't think I made any particular wishes when I was younger; at least, if I did, I don't remember it. <br /> But today I made a wish. <br /> I cannot tell you what it was, or it would not come true. <br /> Will my wish be fulfilled this year? <br /> <br />(Tuesday,20th December,2005.)<br /><br />David Mitchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/birthday-wish/
