"Stars are made for wishing on,"
My mother had told me
Once in a dream,
So I gazed upon the night's dark sky
And I picked the brightest star I could see
I named my star "Lori"
A very special name
Now that this star had a name
She was all mine to claim
I thought about what I wanted
Something I could wish for
But as I thought about my wish I realized
Into this process should go much more
Lori should know my thoughts
Behind each and every wish
So before I made my wish that night
I told to Lori this
I could wish for money
Because we're sorta poor
However to be rich, money is not a necessity
A person needs so much more
I could wish for that special girl to like me
And say those three little words
But love is a much more sacred link
That comes on a path with thousands of curves
I could wish to be famous
To be someone other than myself
But self worth is measured by much more than
Having the most trophies on your shelf
Instead I wanted to be rich in spirit
Sound in soul and mind
I wish that when I see the pot at the end of the rainbow
Character is what I'll find
Instead I'll wish for understanding
And courage in matters of love
I pray I'll meet that special someone
And through tough times we'll rise above
Most of all I wish for the ability to know and like
Who I am and whatI have become to be
And I ask that you help me realize
That I am special even if that's not what I always see
I thanked Lori for listening to
My wishes and my dreams
And there she is shinning bright
No matter how dark it seems
She listens to all I say
Even though she lives in a world so far
But no matter where either of us end up living
She will always be my wishing star.
Dedicated to my mother, Lori.:cool
