I wished upon a star tonight, my wishes all for you <br />Then I prayed that every one, would one day all come true <br />The star was shining brightly in the darkness of the night <br />I sat and thought of you, and wished with all my might <br /> <br />I wished you only happiness, good health and good will <br />To always think of others, how your words may make them feel <br />May you always be the leader, because just anyone can follow <br />Respect yourself and others, so you never become shallow <br /> <br />I wished you a loving heart, a strong mind with many dreams <br />And that you chase those dreams, no matter how hard it seems <br />Go out into the world, go confidently with arms unfurled <br />To welcome all there is for you, in your new and wonderful world <br /> <br />I wished you understanding of challenges that come your way <br />And always knowing that tomorrow will be a better day <br />May you never get discouraged, and think to run away <br />Stand strong against the enemy, as it may change from day to day <br /> <br />I wished you all the knowledge to be right in all you do <br />As anything is possible when it comes to being you <br />If ever feeling unsure, not knowing what to do <br />Don’t look down but up, as God will guide you through <br /> <br />I wished that you get many reasons, to flash that precious smile <br />A smile that says “come sit with me, and let us play a while.” <br />I hope you know what a gift you’ve been, are and yet to be <br />Even when you feel too big to sit on grandma’s knee <br /> <br />I wished you’ll always know when counting the stars above <br />It wouldn’t add up to all the reasons you are dearly loved <br />For every snowflake or raindrop that falls upon the ground <br />A new reason to love you is quickly found<br /><br />Debbie Turner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/grandma-wished-upon-a-star/
