The wishing well
With a coin in her hand
She took her place in the queue
What could she wish for?
Health, happiness, money
For whom could she wish for?
Her parents, her lover, her friends
'Twas ridiculous really
This idea of throwing a coin in a well
Somebody would do a nice business
Out of it she guessed
Touristic trap this
She shuffled forward
Arrived at the well
It was her time
Blank was her mind
She threw it anyway
Letting fate decide for her.
