But I sure do

I know it’s childish and I don’t believe it but I sure do wish it

my most hoped for prayer

not possible probably

but hoped for felt deep

like all the human cells and all the microorganisms which are my greater part are feeling and hoping for this foolish wish to be true

like we’re all on the same wave

I can imagine it

dream it

. . .

I die

and there they all are

everyone I most want to see

each one knowing how much I love them

and I’m there with them

and there is no end

I know it’s childish and I don’t believe it but I sure do wish it
