If Wishes Were Horses
BY APRIL SMITH
If wishes were horses, I'd ride all around,
Prancing and dancing in a fairyland town.
But instead I sit here by the window in tears.
"If only, if only," I sigh.
"If wishes were horses, beggars would ride."
"Actions are better," they say.
But I say let them ride;
Everyone needs help someday.
Let us dream on, but act just as well.
What is the harm in a dream?
For dreams are the things that actions are made of,
And all the good things that they bring.
