MAKE A WISH


Tread where you wish to go

Keeper of fools

Pennies we throw


Go lower

Down deep

We hope

With weak

Custom

In the bottom

They grow


Only we

Toss our dreams

To darkness below


And blow out

Our blessed sight

With candles

For wishes granted

In years


Our gains, once gold

Flip fast

Melted 

In sorrow
