Wishing Upon A Star Poem by Kaila George

The night sky was shining their

Brilliant wonderful stars at night

I sat there in the dark just staring

Thinking to myself, what a beautiful site

Then as luck should have it

I witnessed a shooting star

I gasped my breath in wonderment

And closed my eyes in anticipation

Will this wish of mine come true?

Is this shooting star a fate of what is yet to be

Eyes closed tight I whispered in the night

‘I wish he was here by my side’

‘I wish he was holding me in his arms’

‘I wish…..hmmm’

Then I realized I had made to many wishes

Perhaps they won’t come true

Sigh….perhaps who knows

Then contemplating on what I just wished

I just looked to the beautiful night sky

And wished he could see what I see
