Wishes On A Star Poem by Moore Hope

As I looked up into the dark moonlit night
A twinkling little light caught a glimpse in my sight

Is this the star I have been waiting for year after year?
Is it the star that will take away my sadness, anger, and wasted tears?

So I made the same wish I prayed for day after day
And I wondered if my wish will come true with this particular star far away.

I constantly wish for the same thing, companionship and love
Hoping that the star will do its magic and send a white knight from above

Sometimes life is very hard and I feel so alone
Even though I have my family close to me and am with me in my home.

I guess I just want to know what true love really is
For my belief in true love was shattered many years ago in pieces.

I tried hard to put the pieces of the puzzle back together in my life
But instead of a beautiful picture, I built a wall up full of fife.

I guess in one way it is my fault that my wishes never came true
Perhaps I am wishing for something that no one has the ability to do.

I do not consider myself a bad person, actually people say I am rather fun
But I know that I place on a mask at work in order to make the day go fast and my job get done.

I have a tendency to try to hide from the truth for I want no one to know
I don't want my true feelings of sadness and loneliness to ever really show.

I just wish something magical will finally happen with this wish I made on this particular star
But I know in my deep in my heart that the wish will never be answered, for the stars as well as my dreams are out of reach and are way too far.
