Wishing

Wishing

Star light, star bright, granting wishes through the night;

Hear me now as I whisper, listen to my noble fight.

As you twinkle brightly, the perfect place in Heaven's sky;

Looking down on us below; seeing us laugh and seeing us cry.

Do you wink at us or is that flicker a head's shake?

What do you think of us and our often made mistake?

Wishing on a simple star that merely rests so far away,

Instead of simply bowing heads and taking the time to pray?

Do you laugh at our wishes? Those pleas you cannot give?

For simply gas and flame are you- you do not really live.

Why is it we talk to you, an object and nothing more?

But can't talk to Him though He's who we live for?

Star light, star bright, hearing wishes through the night;

Pass them on to God for us, till we each know His true light.
