Wishing Star

A poem by Lizzy Pacem, written in December 2020 after a dream about laying in the garden with Am as he told her stories about the stars.

- Make a wish on a star,

But don't tell it or it won't come true;

If you throw it into the sky far enough

It just might come back to you.

- The wishing stars catch whispers made in the dead of night

From children all around;

They listen and watch each and every one

And wait for the wishers to make a sound.

- If you're faithful and keep your wish to yourself

The wishing stars will realize,

And your wish will make it back to you,

Coming true right before your eyes.

- When you make a wish on a star

Be very very sure

Because wishing stars are awfully picky

About the wishers that get more.

- Go make a wish on that wishing star,

And don't you breathe a word of it;

Throw it far and aim it right,

And don't you ever quit.
