wishful thinking

this time this isn’t about some guy i fancy or a new mobile phone i’ve been obsessing about. 

this time it isn’t about some place i’ve been longing to go to or some food i’ve been craving so much for.

this time i’m wishing i have millions.

NOT because i’d like to buy myself a handsome SUV.

NOT because i’d like to afford a posh condo unit.

NOT because i’d like to acquire a property i’ve been eyeing for so long.

NOT because i’d like to live in the lap of luxury.

but BECAUSE my heart is bleeding for people close to me who are in dire need of help–financially…

paul whose baby belle was born premature and with a congenital heart disease.  his 2-month-old little angel has been confined to the icu of the phil. heart center for over a month now…

a friend whose sister has suddenly been admitted to a psych facility…

loren’s friend whose dad badly needs surgery for prostate cancer…

aloha whose philandering husband has left her and her two beautiful children without food on the table…

and countless other souls who are struggling to make ends meet, suffering in silence as they pray that their ailing relatives be at least given a reprieve…

i wish i could  help them all.

i wish i’ve more than enough money so i could share it with them.

sadly though, i don’t have much.

that’s why i feel powerless and helpless as well.

so i guess i just have to pray harder for them…

after all, prayers DO seem to work.
