I hope that someday I can crunch my toes through the soft sand
I hope I’ll get the chance to run a marathon,
Feeling tired while I’m jogging and triumphant when I’m done
I hope someday I’ll find love at first sight
I hope that whenever the time comes, I’ll die a peaceful death
I hope I’ll never get thrown in jail, or locked up in a mental hospital
I hope I’ll be a good lawyer when I grow up
I hope all of my dreams will come true
And finally, I hope that all of your dreams come true too

I think you commented on my poem "Feeliings After a Good Book". Weird that we both just happened to comment on eachothers' work. I really like your writing style by the way:)
