I Wish For You... (Thursday Writing Essential)

I Wish For You...

No more doubtfulness, no more fear,

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year;

Warm fires to wane the winter chill,

Lumbering hands gloved in goodwill;

A covering over your head,

Comforting food the table spread;

Touch from another that you feel,

Allowing hardened heart to heal;

Dawn of days high temperatured,

Away from black ice adventures;

End to trials and tribulations,

Freedom from all drug addiction;

A life not of back street alley,

Down the mountain, in the valley;

Love's good fortune, a peace lily,

I wish you all these things, Billy;

Momma's heart unfolds unto thine,

Blessings and a bit o' sunshine!

Written for the group Gather Writing Essential -- Thursday Writing Essential

For this week's theme I'd like you to write a letter, poem, or composition of sentences wishing someone (real or fictitious) the warmest holiday wishes you can create. It doesn't matter if you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other winter holiday; just do your best to convey sincere salutations.

Whoa, I can't remember the last time I was first to comment on one of your posts! I guess I should have said "Pop!"

Hahaha! Gary, I think that's because this is my first night owl post in ages, I must be feelin' better...I felt the pop!
:-)
Let's hope all my wishes come true...

The first three line are like a gentle introduction and the fourth sets the tone with a feeling for imagery and then come the details of sadness and hope.
