When you wish
  upon a star
Your wish will
  travel very far
Through the clouds
  in the darkened sky
Over the moon
  way up high

Past millions of stars
  winking with glee
For a wish they long to
  hear and see
When it reaches the brightest
  in the sky
It hears your wish
  and sends a reply

Watch it closely
  and you will see
That it winks for you
  so happily
For wishes to grant
  and hopes to apply
For those who reach out
  to her in the sky

Send your hopes and wishes
  to the stars
The most brightest star
  winking by far
She will catch it, bless it
  send it down
To float it's way gently
  to the ground
To ride upon your back
  as fate
No time, No place
  just hope and faith



Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe

Now these are some sweet lines my friend.  What wonderful visions you leave us with.  Beautiful verse in all accounts.

Tracie,
it's good to see your work again. Nice poem! I liked it unfortunately my wishes haven't come true quite yet

There's a difference between knowing a path and walking that path....

It seems that you and I have a thing for stars....
or at least I do anyway!
I so much enjoyed reading this piece....
May many stars wink upon you!

Send your hopes and wishes
  to the stars
The most brightest star
  winking by far
She will catch it, bless it
  send it down
To float it's way gently
  to the ground
To ride upon your back
  as fate
No time, No place
  just hope and faith

The wish will take a ride with you until the time is right....happy wishing
