Casting coins into a well, <br />Making wishes of none to tell. <br />Making wishes upon a star, <br />Asking it, of who you are. <br /> <br />Breaking bones of chickens breast, <br />Throwing salt over ones shoulders rest. <br />Making wishes that shall never come true, <br />Is this what man or woman was meant to do? <br /> <br />Playing numbers on a hunch or two, <br />Laying down life's savings, <br />On a horse named; ' Lucky You.' <br /> <br />When luck has nothing to do at all, <br />Of where it is the dice may fall. <br /> <br />Take it from me, I've played the games, <br />Lost it all, moments flash of fame. <br />Found what really matters the most, <br />In my Father, Son and Holy Ghost. <br /> <br />You need no numbers, or coins or bets, <br />With God in your life, it's as good as it gets! <br />So before you wager all you've earned, <br />Go to God and see what you've yet to learn.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/making-wishes-2/
