Falling Stars

If wishes were stars my sky would never be dark
They fly across the sky finding a place to rest
Many have fallen …

If dreams were stars my sky would never be dark
They lighten the darkness of my sleep
Many have burnt out…

If hopes were stars my sky would never be dark
They are the stepping stones on which we walk
Many have sunk

If prayers were stars my sky would never be dark
They ride their way to Heaven
Many are left unanswered…

If love were stars my sky would never be dark
They fly to the hearts of all
Many never return…

But stars are but sparkles in a midnight sky
Dreams, a result of sleep
My hopes are wishes of things to be if
Prayers are left unsaid

If wishes, dreams and prayers were stars
There would be no darkness in my life
And love is something I must give myself
Before giving it away
