A Wish Away
by Tammy Jann
2020
A dandelion on the lawn
meant to be picked by anyone
standing tall in the sun
white and full of seeds
full of wishes for a breath
flying high with what I said
is it possible that
this wish was meant for me
chorus
Take the chance
pick it up
and with a bit of luck
my dreams might be a wish away
I'll never know
unless I try
send it flying high
my dreams might be a wish away
a warm wind rose to kiss the air
sending the snow seeds everywhere
In the blizzard of white
I caught one in mid-flight
A world of possibilities
lay in my hand, deep in that seed
My dreams lay on its fluff
as it soared up and up
chorus
Take the chance
pick it up
and with a bit of luck
my dreams might be a wish away
I'll never know
unless I try
send it flying high
my dreams might be a wish away
Don't tell anyone or it won't come true
open your eyes and see what it brings you
