Habits Become Tomorrow

Habits Become Tomorrow
by Tricia Pattinson

If tomorrow brought you a wish
    Any wish you made today
        Which habit of your mind
            Would your wish provide?

Wishy washy or lovey dovey
    Some habits are self destructive
        Winning is important in the minds of some
            The World owes everything to greedy ones

Could I wish for cleaner air?
    Sparkling water for the desert's bairns?
        Holy fever's practitioners to cool their heels?
            Selflessness freed of deceit?

I might feed my habit of tenacity
    The will to weed my garden of useless thatchery
        Draw a world where all questions are acceptable
            Answers are a banquet that nourish those in need

If tomorrow came again
    What would your second habit bring?
        Would you venture to listen to the habits of your heart?
            Renew your hope or strength to free yourself from the wheel?
