I recited the words <br />To the first star at night <br />And hoped and prayed <br />That I got them all right <br /> <br />I now lay awake and ponder <br />If my words were even heard <br />How is my lonely heart <br />To be made self-assured <br /> <br />Do wishes really come true? <br />Or am I just fooling myself <br />Should I believe in this myth? <br />Or put the broken pieces of my heart <br />Back high upon the shelf <br /> <br />Confusion and dismay begin to set in <br />So I close my eyes to dream <br />For at least within them <br />My hearts whole once again <br /> <br />Sunlight breaks <br />My night’s merciful sleep <br />And I remember my wish <br />And its belief I am set on to keep <br /> <br />I patiently waited <br />Day after day <br />And night after night <br />I also did pray <br /> <br />The time did come <br />When my wish was finally heard <br />And happiness was now possible <br />And my broken heart will now be cured <br /> <br />I know it is now possible <br />For miracles and wishes to come true <br />This was revealed to me finally <br />The day I met you…..<br /><br />Thomas King<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/starlight-starbright-3/
