The Stars

 

The Stars

 

If I wish,

Upon a star,

My dreams shall come true.

The star that shines,

As bright as it might,

Is so far away,

Far from my wish.

Will it receive it?

Will it know it’s from me?

Maybe I should sign my name at the end.

Would it help?

Or is all this a little child’s tale?

 

The stars must hold,

Many wishes and dreams.

If in fact, they do,

Some might have come true,

Some have yet to.

 

I know these words seem silly,

Who would care so much

As to write questions about wishing on a star?

Sign their name at the end of a wish?

Who makes a big deal

Of a little child’s tale?

But it isn’t.

Just wait and see,

Mine will come true,

For I believe.

 

Whatever ever the matter,

They are up there.

Beckoning us to them.

Yet they are far.

And maybe that is our dream.

And they are too far from it to complete it.

 

It might seem foolish,

But all my questions have meanings.

I’m not sure, though, if they all have answers…..

Author's Note

i know it might be confusing, but to me it makes sense....and no offense, but i write for myself

This brought me back to childhood, back when we used to wish on stars, and dream of happy ever afters. Most people write for them selves and they write from their heart....but that's what makes it such a good poem, because it makes us think about it and read between the lines...great job!!!

This is great! I don't think that's offensive at all. Most people write for themselves as a release. I thought it was very interesting when you said that the stars must hold many wishes. It made me visualize thousands of tiny lights (apparently, that's how i view hopes and dreams. : ) ) making up the star, instead of one big thing. I thing you raised some interesting questions in this poem. Keep up the great work! Great write!!!
