Today, as I drove to town I stopped beside the old village green wishing well
Why? I don't know my love; it seemed to beckon me towards its crumbling structure
Even a croaking frog gave me a quizzical look as I approached.......
....it didn't hop away - it just sat there without giving me a second glance.
An old worn sign suggested people make a wish after dropping a coin into the well's depths
I was in a hurry to get to work, yet a mystical force drew me to drop a dollar coin for you
For a few moments nothing happened, then as if by some strange force a wish came to me;
Knowing you are not well I began to quietly wish for your recovery from your illness.
Orchid Lady I know this reads very foolishly to you, yet it happened to me this morning
I really don't know why I stopped my car or why I walked across to the wishing well
It was as though some unknown force compelled me to make a loving wish for you
Though I pray for you each day this wish was a wish I knew had to be made in silence.
Unknown to many you live each day through an unending cloud of pain yet you never complain
I am sure this is why I was compelled to stop this morning and lovingly stand here for you
As I stood in silence I began to think of the first day you brought love and joy into my heart
It was a day that is etched into my heart; binding me to you with unswerving faith and happiness.
You are more important to me than any gold or precious stone would ever appeal to my wants
Within you lay the qualities of trust; faith; hope; love and a beauty that captivates my very heart
While I am standing here I feel your spirit standing beside me and a smile creeps across my face
One more coin drops from my hand as I wish again for your recovery and your happiness.
