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
