I wished as a child upon a star For Christmas to never be very far Then I wished for a lovers kiss I dreamed that love would never fall amiss I wish at times I was not so smart Wisdom brings disappointment after dark I wish at times I was not always right Happiness you see, is about letting love take flight I truly wish one day to be wrong So that you girl, will cry for me and sing me my song

Hope she sings a long and happy song for you. Love is a fragile thing, one day we have it and poof it can disappear. Well done Edith

Letting love take flight is not easy to do. Sometimes we try so hard that we end up preventing it... I'm sure that love will find you, Arthur. This poem is so beautiful in it's simplicity!

Arthur, this is outwardly simple to read but rich on the inside. I had my comments ready to write, but Charm has beaten me to it! I'll limit myself to second her thoughts:) #7 // paul

Wisdom can indeed bring disappointment..But Id rather be wise and know the truth that might hurt ,than to be the fool living a sweet lie. Like you,I always wished for Christmas to be here,everyday..I might have believed n stars too,but life is somehow different than fairyland,there is a dark patch to it,but as we learn to find happiness in our own solitude,that would lead to a bright side too. Arthur this is going to my fvs : ).

Authur, I enjoyed this piece from the beginning to the end.The title stood out and I was intrigued to know more. Once I began to read what you so masterfully penned I was not disappointed. Excellent job:-) Alexis

Arthur, I was totally enthralled by reading between the lines of this well constructed poem. Each couplet left me conceptualizing events I visualized happening afterward. A wonderful insightful glimpse into a poet's world. I love the type of art that breathes with a poet's breath! Both poem and picture, Outstanding!7
