WISH 2

A place I see often and often go
but this night was different
 behind my grandmother’s house
 sat a truck I named "BIG RED"
 it once belonged to someone dear to me
 but now gone I sit in the darkness
 of the midnight sky
covering me like a blanket of black
with my thoughts rushing by like shooting stars
 I begin to look up and see not one of them
 not one star in this beautiful night sky I love
not one star for the children to wish on
 in the thought of letting it go
 I close my eyes
 to hope fully put my mind too rest
but one thought makes another
 and that other makes another
 tell my head starts spinning
oh how I wish there were stars in this sky too night
 I would wish on all of them at once for it to stop spinning
 in time I gave up
 and opened my eyes
 to see I am not where I once was
 I am at my old house in my old yard
 and who else is there the one I hold dear and near
 my father he is speaking to me
 but what is he saying?
"Do you see that star that star is Mars"
 I to try to stop the crying
 I close my eyes
and hold them tight
 and ask.
“ Why? Why did you have to go? “
I slowly open my eyes
 and he’s gone
 and I am left right back where I started
 sitting there on "BIG RED"
 finally I look up
 to see millions of stars
 and the one called Mars.
