Analysis of If wishes were horses
Sunil Bhatia 1971 (Allahabad)
If wishes were horses,
Then magical carpets would fly.
Castles in the air
Would become the favorite
Play ground for pixies and elves
Amidst shooting stars
With moonlit rides
On broomsticks across
Candyfloss skies
And fairies singing on twinkling butterflies.
There would be joy
And laughter all around
With only wonder for everyone
With happy faces
To keep our souls alive.
Wishes were horses..
