"If Wishes Were Pennies" |
So long ago when I was young I wished upon a star, For happy times And everlasting love. But if wishes were pennies, I'd be rich by now. My life began as a child And I grew old along with the stars. I see a shooting star And make my silly little wishes. Sometimes dreams come true, And sometimes wishes do too. I see the first star at night, And I dream and wish with all my might. But if wishes were pennies, I'd be rich by now. I have had a lot of wishes come true, Family and God have brought me through. Something has changed my life, From when I was young. I don't know if it was dreams, Or wishing upon a star. I am satisfied with life and love, Happiness has found me And I can't ask for more. But everytime I see That first star up there, I make another silly wish. But if wishes were pennies, I'd be rich by now. Little do I know, how life really works. All I know is, I am and you are. Everybody makes a wish From time to time, And sometimes they come to be, How and why we do not know. I see my children, Gazing up at the night sky. And I just know, That they are wishing upon a star. They will soon find out, Just as I once did. If wishes were pennies, I'd be rich by now. by Jann Newland (copyright - 2001) |
