Wishes and Stars

‘Wishes and Stars.’

Once in my life, a dreamer

I was. Always dreaming

When gray nights cloaked

And the stars winked

I wished for the happiness

Wished for someone to love

When the shooting stars

Showered down from the sky

I wished for a life beautiful

Wished for the smile I’d lost

Decades later, stars are still

Glowing, but I don’t wish

‘Cuz I’ve gotten older, and

The stars have lost their shine in me
