Who wishes...

she could live in the sunny, tropical Bahamian world for a summer

she could experience the ear-popping adventure

on an airplane

going place to place

visiting the breathtaking sights around planet Earth

she could put her toes in the squishy sand everyday

smelling the salty fresh air of the ocean

but never having to leave

and call that place her home

Who dreams...

of the day she will step into an oversized balloon of many colors

and call it her own

and be nothing but sky bound

of the heart racing moment

when she could take the check from the man

standing on the stage

and proclaim to the world

“ I won the lottery!”

of going to the world’s most cluttered big mall

spending away on the latest fashion

but not getting a receipt fifty feet long

not getting a receipt at all

Who envisions...

herself looking good in the latest fashion

big bows the size of your hand

skater skirts

tights

and don’t forget

those fold-over brown lace up combat boots!

having the time of her life

straining her voice

and being the biggest and boldest fan

at every KU men’s basketball game.

Who wants a world where….

the darkness of cancer can drift away

never to be seen again

all sickness have cures

no longer putting people

in the longing pain of surgery

or seeing someone that they love

slowly shut their eyes for the last time

or hearing the last words

of someone so loved

and remembered.
