Analysis of A wish
Anjalie Chandima Silva 1967 (Colombo)
My tears be few drops
To make you cool
My sighs be a soft wind
To make you comfort
Withered flowers of my Hopes
Be a carpet on your way
Rough fire that burns my heart
Be a stream for you
Pleasant memories that make me cry
Be beautiful dreams for you
My dying eyes be a jewel lamp
To give light for you
