Wish🌟

I’ll wish upon a star when I grow up.  
A nurse’ry cloud will have a child for me  
And bring her down to earth in a teacup,  
Unless it brings a boy instead of tea.  

I’d wished upon a star when I was 3,  
To let me have a yellow puppy when  
I slept among the presents ‘neath our tree,  
To be the one to hug it first thing then.  
 
I wished upon a star because I lied  
When I forgot to feed my little friend,  
And Dad found my pet goldfish on its side.  
I was ashamed, I’ll never fib again.  
 
I’ll wish upon a star when I grow wise.  
I want to see you, God, before I die.  
You’ll know me as you look into my eyes,  
Then from my bed and children will I fly.
