A Dynamic Trio

If you were granted three wishes

What would you choose?

If you were told

The only way 

Those wishes

Will be realized

Is to trade your wishbone

For a back bone

Would you make 

The change?

"There is nothing 

More certain and unchanging

Than uncertainty and change..."

Wishing and envisioning,

While an alluring,

Distraction.

And a useful and effective beginning.

To stay there,

Would be, 

To move in,

To the castle in sky.

So then. 

To entertain further,

Conversion from fantasy,  

To fruition.

The newly implanted

Backbone,

May become 

Of paramount importance.

As one now exercises

The choice,

To 

Take a Chance.

No choice,

To bring about change,

Can be undertaken,

Without taking, 

A chance.

There's also 

A chance.

That the choice

You make.

Will not 

Yield the change

You expected.

It's possible,  

If you choose

No change.

It will occur

Regardless.

Leaving it necessary,

To choose, 

In some manner,

A response, 

To the change.

Though nothing

In the way 

Of a guarantee exists.

It might be considered,

That it is best,

To master the relationship, 

Between these three.

Preferable to have,

The magic working,

With you. 

Than to attempt,

To resist. 

And thereby

Realizing. 

The consequences,

Of their  forces,

As an adversary.
