Wishes
Once, I wished upon a star
To take me to a land afar
Away from death, away from life
Away from sins, and stress, and strife
I sat upon my windowsill
And watched the stars, with time to kill
I saw them dance, I watched them play
I ne'er did wish to look away
I closed my eyes and wished real hard
To travel to that land afar
Up and down, I watched them twirl
And then I blinked, and saw the world
Floating high above the sky
The beauty almost made me cry
I saw the blues, the greens, and whites
They looked so calm and full of life
The gentle giant sat quite peacefully
She looked content (I wish I could be)
And then a star came up to me
And whispered to me, quietly,
"Take care your wishes, pray, don't delay,
Lest you want to wish your life away."
And with those words, I came back home
Floated down, nowhere did I go
Still perched inside my windowsill
Staring, searching for a thrill
And as I glanced up, out afar
I saw that winking, waving star
Once more he whispered some advice
To which I now do live my life:
"Live each moment as best you can
Laugh out loud, even when you are sad"
"But most important, when things seem black
Make sure you love like you'll never get it back"
