wishing well

when i shut my eyes &
   blow out the candles

when i wish
   upon a star
   
when the wish-bone
   breaks my way

when the crop of four-leafed
   clovers comes in

when i find a penny & put
   it in my pocket with a
   falling star

when the rabbit’s foot touches
   the horseshoe on my
   lucky day

i’m only wishing you
   & crossing my fingers
you wish me too.
