When I was
A little child
I was told
If I tossed
A penny
In a well,
Closed my eyes,
Made a wish
Within my heart,
And revealed
My wish
To no one,
I would have
What I wanted.
And I did
All that
But,
I did not
Get yet
What I wished.
Although,
Sometimes,
I tossed
A quarter.
I remember
I did
It right:
I closed
My eyes,
And whispered
My wish,
Every time
I tossed
My coins
Into dozens,
And dozens
Of fountains,
Here and there.
And until now,
My wish
Has not
Been fulfilled,
For me yet.
