Truth

I wish the reasons to smile always overpowered the reasons to cry.

I wish I could always know what my blood sugar is. I wish I didn’t have to know what my blood sugar is.

I wish the world were safe for our babies. I wish there was a vaccine for anger. I wish more people had faith in God. I wish the people who have faith in God would actually listen to Him.

I wish people didn’t gossip. I wish people didn’t lie. I wish people didn’t say mean things to make them feel better. I wish technology never broke. I wish I always had cell phone service.

I wish I kept in better contact with my friends. I wish I could tell all my friends individually how much I love them (I love you). I wish I could love more freely. I wish I had an easier time trusting people. I wish people didn’t break my trust.

I wish dreams always came true. I wish people that mean the most to me didn’t leave this world so early. I wish I knew what they were going to teach me. I wish I could say good-bye. I wish I didn’t have to say good-bye.

I wish I could take everyone to heaven. I wish life wasn’t so nasty, brutish and short. I wish I could say the things I want to say when I want to say them. I wish it didn’t take so much time to make a difference. I wish more people at least tried to make a difference. I wish more people realized the difference they do make, even when they aren’t trying.

I wish more people realized that they are beautiful and wonderful even with their flaws. I wish more people realized that their flaws are what make them beautiful and wonderful. I wish more people focused on the beautiful and wonderful things instead of the sad and lonely things.

I wish that sad and lonely things never happened.

But most of all I wish, that when sad and lonely things happen, you have someone you love and who loves you to hold onto.

And I wish that person’s smile overpowered your tears.
