Never Wish Upon a Star Never wish upon a star A million miles away Your dream will soar to space afar And never come your way Don’t toss coins into a fountain You may soon repent For money used to make a wish Is money poorly spent Don’t rely on good luck charms To master deeds you do Amulets just hang there All the effort comes from you Never knock on wood for hope That’s not where fate abides For that which happens in the morrow Only God decides Keep your dreams within your heart And to yourself be true And now and then a lovely dream Will somehow come to you Elizabeth Santos |

Lovely Liz! Yes, there really IS little sense in wishing upon a star.. it's not the stars that hear it, and why would anyone open mail, not addressed to them?! *_^ You have such a sweet way to say things Liz.. loved this..

Loved it, Liz! Wishing upon a star can never bring our fate. Our fate is in our own hands, very nicely illustrated idea.. - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |

wow...this is wonderful! the title attracted me and i gotta tell ya, the words astounded me. never thought of it like that before, but you are right they're just silly beliefs we've sought after through time, but the only luck we get will be the luck as we say written or inscribed for us well in my religion. so thanks for sharing this. salooma |
