Three Coins; Double or Nothing

I’ve tossed in one coin
over my shoulder, eyes closed
end over end, plop!

Wish made earnestly:
happiness for my grandkids.
with a taste of strife.

Next coin flies with ease
sails into fountained circle
carries second wish:

Please grant us peace now
on this earth we call our home;
celebrate all life.

One final coin soars,
skips across the still surface
one final grand wish

For three more wishes,
three more chances to change life,
double or nothing.
