wish for a star
will it go far
a trip in the car
ends with a scar
sky so dark
on a lark
went to the park
stop at the mart
over the moon
tea at noon
late but soon
hear a tune
not a hiss
hug and kiss
more than this
the joy you will miss
so soar my dove
it is a sign of love
coo like a dove
live your best life in love.

I just read Kelli's which was also down in sets of four rhymes. Don't worry, the two are completely different, including formatted differently. But it's litterally the last thing I read before reading this. Nicely done, btw.
