Every star's a fable, <br />A story in the sky, <br />A trail of angel's footprints <br />(some angels cannot fly) . <br /> <br />Every tale's worth keeping <br />And writing in a book; <br />So every star you're seeing, <br />Just take a closer look: <br /> <br />There's stars wished on by babies, <br />And stars from lover's eyes, <br />Stars that saved a sailor <br />Or intrepid voyager, high. <br /> <br />Stars that guide the night time, <br />And stars that swiftly fell, <br />And stars that shine in daylight, <br />At the bottom of a well. <br /> <br />There are stars in the evening, <br />And stars before the dawn, <br />To tell us what the season, <br />And when the work is done. <br /> <br />There's the first star you remember, <br />And the last you'll see before <br />Your eyelids close forever- <br />Before a star-lit door. <br /> <br />And then you'll be a star yourself, <br />Shining miles above; <br />Lighting worlds with distant lamps, <br />Burning bright with love.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wish-i-may-wish-i-might-3/
