If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride them
If wishes were ships
Lighthouse would guide them
Thousands of desires
Many got fulfilled, many remained
We enjoy completed ones,
Mourn for the unattained,
Either way we get morose
The wishes make us restive
We keep yearning for more
Our attitude is reflective
Controlling innumerous cravings
Pursuing a purposeful quest
Is the only way to be happy, and
Live life to the hilt at best
