Wishes In Raindrops

Yesterday it rained

Staining my windowsill

I watched the droplets

Trickle to the bottom

Pretending

They were racing

And that each

Held a wish.

“I wish to move out.”

“I wish to graduate.”

“I wish for a car.”

It all seemed so trivial

In the moment

But I knew it one

Was important

And they would all

Come true.
