Wishing and Hoping
Dare I dream
that one day I will be
playing on the beach
down by the sea
making sandcastles
catching fish
collecting shells
making a wish
Living in snow
more than half a year
heavy clothes
and winter gear
sunshine hidden
for most of the time
frozen world
it seems like a crime
I wish and hope
and want to be
warm and happy
under a palm tree
goodbye cold and snow
Please set me free
so I may live
down by the sea
