A wish
I watched the sky tonight and saw a shooting star. Excited, I placed my hands in my pockets, closed my eyes and concentrated on making a wish. I ask for happiness to be fulfilled for a person that I truly and sincerely care about. I wished that she would find peace of mind, that she may find the courage to face the day regardless of all the hardship and dismay it offers. I wished she would find the courage to smile, maintain delight and keep living life to its fullest extent regardless of the world presenting itself as a grim, iniquitous and relentless person. I wished that she could find the strength to cope, after experiencing several, unfair and traumatic hardships of everyday living. Most importantly, I wished that she would find Love. After making my wish, the shooting star finally disappeared in the sky. Feeling at ease, I felt content with my wish, with full knowledge that this person I was wishing for would never end up being with me. After exhausting all possible ways to make her fall in love, I took the chance as a last ditch effort to make her happy and wished upon a shooting star. I know this well, From What I’ve learned before, life never gives what you earnestly want, but only what you need. I waited for several moments for another shooting star so I could make a wish for me. But nothing was showing. It made me realize that maybe I should stop wishing, but start praying instead, so I turned to my faith, knelt down, placed my hands together, closed my eyes and concentrated on a prayer. I prayed for happiness to be fulfilled for me, the only person that I should sincerely care about. I prayed that I would find peace of mind, that I may find the courage to face the day of all the hardship and dismay it offers. I prayed that I would find the courage to smile, maintain delight and keep living life to its fullest extent, regardless of the world presenting itself as a grim, iniquitous and relentless person. I prayed that I could find the strength to cope, after experiencing several, unfair and traumatic hardship of everyday living. But most importantly, I prayed that I would find love and finally I added: Dear God, if I can’t find love with another person, please give me the tenacity to find it within myself through your words, wisdom and eternal passion. Amen
