Waiting On A Wish

I’m writing to complain,
that my wish has not come true,
I’ve had it up to here,
so please, tell me what to do.

I was told I shouldn’t speak it,
but it’s getting out of hand,
it’s a year since I first made it
and I couldn’t understand

if perhaps the candles flickered
and I wished a bit too soon,
but I’d really like my birthday wish,
to go with my balloon

today’s a day for presents
as I celebrate my age,
but instead I’m waiting on a gift
smudged letters on the page

so
To our parents far and wide,
I hope you’re happy that you lied,
there’s no magic touch, I thought as much
Sincerely
Children’s pride

Still waiting on a couple of my birthday wishes, just thought I’d share the thought. Hope you enjoyed (not actually my birthday but hey ho).
