Star light,
Star bright,
First star
I see tonight...
I wish I may,
I wish I might,
Have this wish
I wish tonight…
We can wish for what we dream of upon a shooting star, keep our fingers crossed or puff a dandelion wish...
Or we could just get on with it and build the dream, one stick at a time...
About the title:
"Star Light, Star Bright" is an English language nursery rhyme
