For once,

let my wish be true.
It’s not a big wish,
A simple one,
That’s all I’ve made.
From New Year’s
to birthdays…
One wish
every special occasion.
And I’m still here,
looking up on the heavens.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
tell me, are you even for real?
One falling star,
I dare a wish,
Closing my eyes,
as if in deep contemplation.
“Let it be true, I say.”
Opening my eyes,
I peek,
The sky doesn’t betray.
If falling stars
make wishes come true,
Then maybe it wasn’t
the star I was to wish upon.
But for once.
Let it be.
Just this once.
And I will believe,
that the universe conspires

and make wishes real.
