A single wish.
A single star is agleam tonight,
it's feeble glow no match for the moonlight,
but it is seen from down below,
those pairs of eyes, it's path they do follow,
mouthing words they wish to speak,
in a single world that now seems so bleak,
their beating heart as they strain to hope,
they fall to their knees at the edge of a slope,
A single star is agleam tonight,
a desperate wish to end this fight,
but no matter how long their eyes are closed,
their wish laid bare, and too soon disposed.
That single star soon disappears,
having not to worry of the children's tears,
someday again their wish will be made,
until then their hope will fade.
