My Wish

Looking at the sky tonight,
 wishing upon the brightest star in sight.
Praying that my mom will come back some day.
 Filling the void that she left, when she walked away.
I'm not the selfish type.
I'm not materialistic.
I try to give and help when I can.
This is who I am,
a brownie leader of 12 , mother of two.
A wife, companion and student to boot.
something still doesn't feel' right to me
I feel incomplete! 
Wishing she would come home sober and straight.
This is my wish tonight.




If I had one wish contest
