A Penny's Worth of Good Wishes

Not often, but sometimes, when I am relaxing in a beautiful garden, I envision how things should be, or could be. It is then that I entertain my dreams and consider wishes for tomorrow. When I was younger, I remember tossing pennies into fountains and making wishes. Then I would attempt to count the pennies shinning all coppery under the sparkling, gentle quaking of the water. Someone once told me that if I picked up any penny from the water, the wish of that penny's person would be given to me. I remember walking around a particularly lovely fountain, with the desire to reach in and take a penny's worth of good wishes. As I thought on this, my hesitancy increased due to that unknown factor attached to each penny. How wise to be satisfied with my own dreams and wishes, for I never know what another's dreams and wishes may visit upon me.
