Wishing Well

Eyes closed.
Mind searching.
It must be just right.

Look at the penny one last time.
A glimmer.
A promise.
A hope.

Eyes closed.
Fingers crossed.
"If you grant me this wish,
I promise I will be a good girl."

The toss.

Listening.

Finally,
a splash that rings with promise.

One final glance upwards.

Happily skipping away.
"I'll be back tomorrow."
