I see tonight...

I wish I may,

I wish I might,

Have this wish

I wish tonight…

Wish Upon a Dandelion Star seen from the back.

We can wish for what we dream of upon a shooting star, keep our fingers crossed or puff a dandelion wish...

Fluffy dandelion and gyp star with barbed wire.

Or we could just get on with it and build the dream, one stick at a time...
