Just You Never Mind !

`Where do prayers, and wishes go?
Are they kept behind a lock?
Or do they enter that vortex
after the dryer's stolen a sock?

I've made plenty of wishes
and of prayers, I've said a few;
I just wonder what path that they take
to find out whether or not they're true.

I've dreamt alone in bed at night
but, I ended up so tired,
because of losing needed sleep
from what caused their original inspire.

I've also kept a secret
because I was asked to do so
and had I ever breached my word
what would happen to be in the know?

The,  "what ifs", in my life occur
and I never have understood
how not sharing knowledge would help anyone
for in my mind, secrets aren't good .

I say we cease this nonsense
and share all the things we find
then none would have to worry
about what's cluttering their mind.
