A Child’s Wish

This light I hold in my hand burns bright with a light1

A light of hope and a wish I want to make2

Holding this star in my hand now I pray for my wish3

Oh how I wish I wish that my brother would get better4

He is very sick and needs your help 5

I make this wish on this star and hope that it makes it to God for his power to shine down on him6

Now I let this star go to fly to its home in the sky7

Fly fast to the heavens and give my words to my lord8

As I walk home I take one last look up with a smile on my face and hope in my heart  9

As the sun rises I wake to the phone ringing10

My mom runs in my room with a smile on her face11

With a kiss on my forehead she says your brother is going to make it 12

    Wonderful story, SH! The idea of the prayer as a "light" is very creative, and so beautiful. And then, it becomes a "wish", sent on a star! Lovely imagery! Also, I appreciate that you ended this positivley. The boy recovered, in answer to your "wish." (High time God got some credit for answering prayers! lol) This is just a lovely, touching story. Great job!

    Fantastic

    Fantastic Robin..you did a wonderful job with this. And I do believe that God does answer our prayers. It may not seem that way at first but one day you will definitely realize that he does listen. Great write sweety. Alexis

    I almost wish that I could believe in God like the character in your poem. It might be for a group, but it's still going to be one of my favorites on SW and AP.

    Props to ya,

    Sector-Hunter,

    This poem gave me goose bumps. I am so glad that God heard your wish. A wonderful thing to hear, huh? I'm so happy for you! I wish your brother all the best. Life is never easy, but if we take one step at a time, it will. Miracles do happen and you just witnessed one!! I send out my love to you.

    Writing is good for the heart and soul.

    Sincerely,



    Nelak
