Have You Ever Wished
Have you ever wished upon a falling star
and imagined how many there really are
Or did you bend down to pick up a lucky penny
and think of those who may not have any
Maybe you thought of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
or were just at a point in your life you didn't know which way to go
You found the rarest of four-leaf clovers
but looked for the tarnish on the gold coin you turned over
Luck comes around once in awhile
yet miracles happen every day
They're found in a parent's touch, a child's laughter, a friend's smile
and often in the kind words we hear and say
Always reach for the stars
give to those in need
Never give up your search for treasure
and know that luck is fate, indeed
We've had sorrow, yet we can heal
we've had joy we want others to feel
Overcome the bad, and rejoice in the good days
finding love and peace in so many ways
