Wishes

I wished and wanted
longed for and hoped
and the snow
I desired
fell in droves
but the wind
was too biting
the temps too low
to rush outside
and play in the snow
I stayed inside
and watched it blow
then a sudden shift came
and temperatres rose
ice fell from the sky
to glaze all in sight
and as I looked
out the window
all I can think
is that I’m pretty
damn sure
I never asked
for a skating rink
