night wishes

the full moon came out
to play with the stars
last night as i sat
by my window and wished
for foolish things;

i could have sworn
that i saw the man in
the moon wink at me and
maybe even smile at me,
making me feel better.

the man in the moon
keeps all my wishes,
you see,
stored in a
personalized star;

course,
when a star dies,
my wish dies with
it and when a star is born,
i have a new place to store
more wishes.
