Do you?

I wish for all kinds of things.     .     .

it’s different than hoping

it’s different than expecting

it’s different than asking

it’s different than praying

it’s different than begging

it’s different than wanting

it’s different than needing

W    H    A    T

makes a W I S H

a      W     I     S     H.       .       .

Well.          .          .

going back to my English major days

in college I distinctly remember:

W          I          S          H

is usually used in the     P      A      S      T       tense,

but it can be used in the present tense.         .         .

it usually talks about   r  e  g  r  e  t  s

or   w a n t s

l i k e:

“I SURE WISH I HAD ME AN EDUCATION”

“I WISH I HAD STARTED SOONER”

“I WISH I HAD A DOGGIE”

H        O        P      E

is more future tense

but it can used for the present tense, too.       .       .

It mostly focuses on    A   S   P   I   R   A   T   I   O   N   S

“I  hope  to  fall  in  love”

“I  hope  to  get  a  good  credit  score”

“I  hope  you  enjoyed  the  show.”

To the best of my knowledge

I remember first reading this illustrated video:

“I    W I S H     Y O U     E N O U G H”

by Bob Perks

in  CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE GRIEVING SOUL

.          .          .it’s amazing isn’t it.       .       .

how you can read something

and then read it

see it

experience it

years later

in a totally different way.          .          .

No matter

I      WISH      YOU      ENOUGH

and  Hope  it  finds  you  more  well

than  even  you  recognize

at  this  very  moment
