Star

I wished upon a shooting star
Tired of life’s ho hum meanderings
A wish for something more
A cure for cancer 
Food for the hungry
Homes for the homeless 
Clothes for the unclothed and 
Dreams to come true 
For the dreamers
Whether the star has
These powers never
Occurred to my 
Unadulterated thoughts
But a wish is just that
A positive flow of energy 
And thoughts and prayers
