Array ( [sid] => 28651 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => When You Wish Upon A Star [time] => 2003-12-05 01:51:25 [hometext] => I think we all need to wish upon a star sometimes.......please review if you can.... [bodytext] => Star bright, star light,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may,
I wish I might,
I wish my wish come true tonight…


A short little poem that I have said,
I found it long ago in a book I read.
I say it when it gets dark at night,
When I see that first star’s twinkling light.

I used to wish for lots of little things:
A puppy, a game, and a necklace with rings.
Most of those things I’ve probably gotten;
And those same things are most likely long forgotten.

And tonight as I look up into the sky,
I’ll see that first star, gazing down from on high.
And I’ll wish something that I’ve never wished for before;
If this one wish is granted, I won’t ask for anything more.

I wish that one day, I might feel a bit better,
Cause I’m sick and tired of being under the weather.
Even if it lasts for only one day,
There is no price I’m not willing to pay.

Just to feel like I used to, so long ago,
Not felling this immense pain of inner sorrow.
To feel carefree, like that girl in my past,
When life was so easy, I wished it would last.

I just want one final star, to wish upon,
After this last star, I hope my pain’s gone.
So this is what I ask as I stand at the window sill,
My one last wish, granting it is your will.

Star bright, star light,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may,
I wish I might,
I wish one day I’ll be all right…

Words from a Disney song......
"When you wish upon a star
makes no difference who you are
everything you heart desires
will soon come true"

I may not have remembered it quite correctly but I hope it does for you, sarah-may

I live with a few more aches pains and disabilities as I get near entering my ninth decade but within those restrictions........... this site ....my model railway..... and my lovely wife..... give me all I could ask for to make life worth living.

I hope you can make a similar haven and that your pain eases enough for you to enjoy it

THe last stanza is an excellent application of the original lines.

As for the rest, I can't tell if you were shooting for meter, and the rhyme is quite good. You should do better, and try for impossible rhymes. It makes the composition seem that much more satisfying upon completion.

"Pale moons and sleepless nights; Ideals torn in dark delight."
