Star light...star bright... You look vaguely familiar tonight. I believe you may be the one Who holds a wish I made long ago. On a night similar to this, an opportunity almost missed. But from the corner of my eye I saw you twinkling just so. It's all coming back to me now. I had forgotten it all somehow. Though now that I stand before you it seems like only yesterday. When I glanced at the sky above And wished for a life filled with love. Then feeling slightly foolish I quickly walked away. It's been many years since that night And again I am bathed in your light. As I listen to the breathing Of the man lying next to me. The man who holds me when I cry And swears he'll never say good-bye. He cherishes the woman I am And helps me see the woman I can be. He still loves to hold my hand. I know he's proud to be my man. I guess I could say that... He fills my life with love. So now, star light...star bright. I recall that wish made long ago. I'm sorry it took so long to realize that you were answering it all along. |

TennesseeAngel~ This is lovely ! I'll bet I've got a star or two floating around out there with wishes made long ago. What a novel concept ! I just love it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

wishes are funny aren't they Angel? You think that they haven't come true. . . and then it hits you. . .  wonderful. . . ----------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Marge -- Thank you for your lovely response! I'm sure there's a bunch of wishes floating aroung out there that I forgot I ever made. I'm just thankful the keeper of the stars doesn't forget anything. Love ya girl! jwesley -- Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! butterflies -- That is truly the greatest compliment! Especially coming from you who, with your poetry, has touched me on many an occassion. snowpants -- I'm so glad that you took the time to come and read my work and even happier that you enjoyed it! charisma -- Thank you so much for your lovely reply!
