To Wish Upon a Star

To Wish Upon a Star

A poem by Sydney Stone. I do not own the image.

***

Have you wished upon a star?

Fickle hope born oh so far?

From the breast that holds it dear,

Seems so close, but never near,

To the one who needs it most,

But like a parasite to host,

It weedles in and burrows deep,

And when itโ€™s false, the tears they weep,

Falling softly thereupon,

The hopes and wishes of a pawn.
