Wishes are lovely things but only if they come true.
I never had family life when I grew up ..always at boarding school since I was 6 and 1/2 till I was nearly 22.
No Christmases, Easters or Summer holidays with them..When I was a child I wished to be together as a family. I was always terrified they would die while far away.
Many times I wish they would have been there to protect me from the nuns..They scared the hell out of me when I was 8 telling me I was headed to hell cause I wasn't baptised.
I really did a lot of wishing when I was a kid ..but as I grew up I learnt it was a waste of time..cause none of mine came true.
Anyways, I love the optimistism in your poem and I feel the little boy will have more luck than me.

HELLO SUGARRAY: I have imagined that your heart is a jar, where you can keep all of your wishes and every star...you are their queen...they will glow for you...and do what ever you command them to do. You'd place them, "OVER" your bed...and they'd shoo away fear and dread. If you uncapped their light...yes, they'd surly take flight...fly to your bosom and hug you tight. Thank you for sharing your poem, dear lady. You are appreciated. God bless you. Cordially: rhonnie69.

When we wish upon a star! Yes, dreams and hopes would be good to keep in a jar and let loose every once in a while. Very nice rhyming poem of dreams with a unique picture to match.

This is a very nicely composed Minute poem, Melissa. The second stanza is my favorite. We tend to think of scary things beneath the bed, but this suggestion is better. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn
