Many A time have I wished upon a star,
And though it truly makes no difference who you are,
One cannot rely upon that star.

The stars are many miles off,
The only power they hold is of light and warmth.
That may be why people wish upon them,
Seeking that warmth in their own lives.

But you truly cannot hope that wish to be invoked,
For it is only in yourself you may find that warmth.

So do not wish upon the stars,
But make a promise to them.
A promise to create a warmth that rivals theirs,
So you may be someone else's shinning star.
