Dreaming of Wishes

just something I whipped up in math class

How many times must you skip a stone

To make your dreams come true

And if you wish upon a star

Are you sure that star will hear you?

 

The boogey man is growing thin

The children all have gone

Sleeping with their night lights soundly

While mothers sing a song

 

There are no monsters in the closet

No evil under the bed

Because they are so scared of how

The lights dance in your head

 

Tell the teddy bear your secret

A secret he will keep

Now close your eyes and lay your head

And slowly drift to sleep

The lights dance in your head

[RachelReaper]

ok, first opening line..... I. Was. Hooked. "How many times must you skip a stone to make your dreams come true" one of the best openings I've heard in a while.

Good stuff I like how it reminds me of my childhood. Especially when it talks about the boogie man.

[Alexa Tasch]

Thanks! Thats where I got my inspiration!

Really good, especially for something you just "whipped up" in a class. I really love the section of lines:
"There are no monsters in the closet
No evil under the bed
Because they are so scared of how
The lights dance in your head."

Great write.

Thank you! I was worried that people might not like that part because of the "lights dance in your head." I didn't think people woulld get it, but i'm glad you liked it!
