Star light, star bright,
first star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
actually get my wish tonight.
I wish to shine bright like you do,
sparkling to distract from what is true.
A giant ball of gas, is all that's in a star,
yet people always say how beautiful you are.
Star light, star bright,
first star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
actually get my wish tonight.
I wish to shoot across the sky
as people will wish as I go by.
They stare, amazed, at the sight of me
as I fly through the sky, wild and free.
Star light, star bright,
first star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
actually get my wish tonight.
I wish to glow and give others hope
so many problems, I could help them cope.
I could make things happen that haven't before
by granting every wish, making spirits soar.
Star light, star bright,
first star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
actually get my wish tonight.
I know my final wish, my little wishing star:
Shine forever, as beautiful as you now are,
make all the lost feel found, and never give in,
never let them fade, but always shine from within.
Star light, star bright,
first star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
actually get my wish tonight.

Original Last two lines:
Never hold back, never give in,
never fade, always shine from within.

I love it!
I'm serious. I love this.
The repetition had a great effect and the rhyme was excellent! It was longer than it was supposed to be (as stated in the rules) but it kept me interested so it doesn't really matter to me
Excellent and thank you for entering!

What a good title!
Hmmm....
Tell you what, would you like to use your title? If you want a different one, I would only be too happy to oblige ^_^
But I do think that that's a good title, probably better than the one I would have given you anyway XD
