Wanting

Wanting what is there
Knowing it is good.
Having it for a while
Can make me smile.

Wanting what is gone
Feeling all is lost.
Hoping it will return
Knowing it will cost.

Wanting what can never be
Feeling loss of hope.
Crying for awhile
Then learning how to cope.

Wanting always wanting
Know that it should stop.
Someday I will learn
Wanting never helps.

I want you to know
I still care.
I want to to know
You are still in my prayers.

I leave the wanting
To go to bed.
Then maybe the wanting
Will leave my head.
