At The Wishing Well

I visited the wishing well
with pockets full of fare;
the day had come for dreams fulfilled
and time to pay my share.
Those wrong ways down a one-way street
demanded something new,
so changes were in order now
and I was overdue.
I cast a penny in the well
for everything I'd learned.
I hoped for every cent I tossed,
more common sense returned!
Then nickels flew at every plea
to heal my nagging pain,
by severing the memories
that caused my heart to wane.
As wishes weighed more heavily,
I raised it to a dime.
The well soon caught my pocketfuls,
one longing at a time!
I may not be the riches man,
but I am still the wiser,
as all those coins were only slugs
because I'm still a miser!
