Star Wishes

In God's great and vast  universe
 Comes the meteor showers of Perseid
 Mythical  hero who takes the stars for a ride
As to Earth they hurl to collide

 Celestial diamonds zooming by
 across the vast ethereal sky
 The heavenly fireworks were an awesome sight
 As people watched with great delight

 Making wishes as they fall
 Hoping they come true that's all
 And if they did,  of course you knew
 Upon a star your wish came true
