Shel Silverstein Quote

And then one Thursday night they found himDead- with his wishes piled around him,And they counted the lot and found that notA single one was missing.All shiny and new - here, take a fewAnd think of Lester as you do.In a world of apples and kisses and shoesHe wasted his wishes on wishing.
