A Fisherman’s Wish

On a clear and silvery night like this
The sky is filled with a fishernan’s wish
A million fish in the heaven’s blue
To be caught by a fisherman just like you

Sail up to the black of the nightime sea
And caste your fisherman’s net for me
So bright are the sparkling stars at night
So beautiful the twinkling heavenly light

Your blanket is a fine woven net of gold
A bounty of treasure your net will hold
It’s very easy to grab a star
That swims in the calm where the sea fish are

So fill up your net with the silver fish
Each fish is a star-lit mother’s kiss
Look up at the fish in the night time sea
And tell me how many kisses you see

May you always know there’s a net to pull
For your whole life through, a heart that’s full
Your little eyes close as you gaze at the sky
You’ll never be able to count that high

So pretty the stars on a night like this
The sky is filled with a fisherman’s wish

Well I looked to the sky for my anthem
The words and the music came through
But words and music can never touch
The beauty that I've seen in you

Liz: A lovely poem and it's good to focus on something beautiful in the midst of so much that isn't. Thanks.
