POEM HERE:
As a young boy, I wandered the hills
And found a tall tree, peaceful and still.
There I sat and watched the sights,
And gazed into the heavens of the night.
~~
The moon was large and shadows cast,
Upon the path and along the grass.
My hat pulled back to clearly see,
As a wishing star flew over me.
~~
What wonder it was, so glad that I saw,
The beauty of God's sky, all in all.
With a flick of His finger, a breath of wind,
That comet flew over, I know not where it'll end.
~~
I wanted to hope, I wanted to wish,
So there I sat, thinking what should I get.
I could ask for fortune, and for fame,
I could ask even for the world to gain.
~~
The more I considered the things to desire,
To grow old, be wealthy, or possibly retire.
The more I realized what God already's done
He sent His star to cross the sky's run.
~~
Selfish I was, wishing on a star,
Already watching the heavens afar.
I had my peace, my own moment in time,
And decided that was a good enough sign.
~~
So as a young boy, wandering those hills,
Under the tree, I changed my own will.
To not wish on stars with all my might,
But in my life to take better delight.
