One Yellow Star

One yellow star Part of a constellation Trillions of miles away A ball of hydrogen gas Surrounded by unseen planets It burns with immeasurable heat Trillions of miles away A young girl lies in a field of night flowers Looking into a pitch black sky She sees the one yellow star And she wishes on the first star she sees that night She wishes for love She wishes for happiness and health Trillions of miles away That one yellow star burns The unseen planets orbit around it It may never hear the young girl’s wishes The wishes that will never be granted That one yellow star doesn’t know about the wishes Or maybe it just doesn’t care
