I would walk on mountains, <br />I would drink only from private fountains, <br />I would eat a fruit every hour, <br />I would shun all foodstuffs sour, <br />If only wishes were horses! <br /> <br />I would share my single bed with Zahara, <br />I would publish a book about desert Sahara, <br />I would bring a railway line to KEZI <br />and build a passport office there, in these coming years, <br />If only wishes were horses! <br /> <br />I would preside in Matabeleland State, <br />I would bring Latinos and Greeks to Matabeleland State, <br />I would give shelter to all beggars and street kids, <br />I would make watermelons bear no seeds, <br />If only wishes were horses! <br /> <br />I would marry the queen's daughters eleven, <br />I would fly willy-nilly to God in heaven, <br />I would raise my dead mother, <br />I would heal my mad father, <br />If only wishes were horses! <br /> <br />I would eliminate Twitter and Facebook, <br />I would hire a private cook, <br />I would stop the sun from setting, <br />I would save ice from melting, <br />If Only Wishes Were Horses!<br /><br />Comfort Ndlovu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-only-wishes-were-horses/
