wishes

We stop every time we see a fountain. She gives me those eyes and I start digging for change. As she tosses the coin into the water, she tells me "Don't listen" so she can make her wish. She wishes on birthday cakes, turned necklaces, and shooting stars. Sometimes I hear her little wishes. Her sweetness and innocence is so beautiful. Unlike my wishes of a certain winning set of numbers, her wishes are centered on friends and frozen dairy.

My biggest wish is for hers to come true. (that winning set of numbers would be pretty cool too...)
