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.
