Analysis of Wishes
Dark Things 2007 (KY)
Wishes are just words you say.
They are just thoughts in you think.
Often they are gone the next day.
Then all your hope will sink.
Wishes often do not come true.
They are often things you cannot do.
There are wishes around every bend.
But all things have an end.
