I will not throw another coin into the fountain <br />For it has never brought riches to me <br />I will not throw one wish into that water <br />It echoes nothing of my destiny <br /> <br />I will not throw another coin into the fountain <br />I do not even wish to keep the change <br />Even through when I toss it <br />Ironically things seem to stay the same <br /> <br />I will not throw another coin into the fountain <br />I will not even let another do it on my behalf <br />I was told of dreams and desires <br />All the water did was stay shallow and laugh <br /> <br /> <br />I will not throw another coin into the fountain <br />The change I make, I must make myself <br />The water will never do it for me <br />I am responsible for my own wealth<br /><br />Justin Fitzpatrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-will-not-throw-another-coin-into-the-fountain/
