Shooting stars and candles,
eyelashes and full moons;
it's not a bowl of lucky charms,
but wishes for us loons.
So break a wishbone if you must;
throw a penny in a well,
but know my dear that in the end,
a wish is but a shell.
You can blow the dandelion seeds,
and watch them float away,
but don't waste your time on wishes child;
go out and seize the day.
