Love Poem: Star Light Star Bright

Star Light Star Bright

I recited the words 
To the first star at night
And hoped and prayed
That I got them all right

I now lay awake and ponder
If my words were even heard
How is my lonely heart 
To be made self-assured

Do wishes really come true?
Am I just fooling myself?
Do I put the broken pieces of my heart
Back high upon the shelf

I close my eyes to sleep
As confusion and dismay set in
For at least within my dreams
My hearts whole once again

The sunlight breaks 
My night’s merciful sleep
And I remember my wish
In its belief I am set on to keep

I’ve patiently waited
Day after day
And night after night
I also did pray

The time did come
When my wish was finally heard
And happiness was now possible
And my broken heart was cured

I know it is now possible 
For miracles and wishes to come true
This was revealed to me finally
That day I met you…..
