Rooted in reality
She kept her wishful thinking at bay.
Ladyluck had been kind so far
There was nothing to complain about
Sometimes she found things to crib about
Yet caught herself in the act of pessimism..
Wishes cannot be horses
What if she was already riding on the horse and the ride itself was the biggest wish she could ask for ?
Chords in the circle of life 
I love the line, “Wishes cannot be horses”. Well done.
