STARS

When you wish upon a star
be careful what you ask for.
Be sure it is what you want
or the result you may abhor.
Do not let your wish be a whim
nor let it be one coerced
only ask what you really want
lest in turn into a curse.
Do not make lightly your request
you may regret when it comes true
Regret is a bitter taste
with no one to blame but you.
So make your solemn wish with thought
believe in your heart it will come true,
the stars contain a mighty power
and with faith the Earth will move.
Pick your lucky star with care
pick with reverence and belief.
Redemption comes from the heavens
and the stars are the only light.
So make your wishes sacred
ask only for what you need.
be solemn, but also joyous
and your wishes will come to be.
