When I Make a Wish

Listen to poem:
When I make a wish.
                 When I make a wish.
      When I make a wish on a falling star.
                   I dream a dream.
                   I dream a dream.
     I dream a dream about how stars are.
          And my mind starts to wander
              On things I might ponder
         With a hope for a far better day.
           And in this blissful condition
               I embrace the tradition
            Of wishing my troubles away

               When you have a friend.
               When you have a friend.
When you have a friend who follows that star.
                      Do you know?
                      Do you know?
         Do you know how lucky you are?
              There are moments in life
               When conflicted by strife
       When a friend will come to your aid.
           And in this troubled condition
              With no hint of suspicion
          They'll wish your worries away.

                           The End

*This is a song from a children's musical I've written.

Smashing lyrics, smashing song… what more can one ask for? Front row seats and free popcorn, maybe. Great work, David. Terry

Thanks Heidi. Writing the play took long enough but putting it to music is a bit of a nightmare. Musicians are strange people. Have a great day.

A friend and I are laying the music down. It should take about three more months. It's a long process.

David. Here there was a long pause before attempting to compose this reply AND even still I'm crying while trying to write this. The 3rd verse really hit me hard TRULY. You discribed the woman, who I would love to be my life's partner, to a tee. Then the repeat of the 1st verse with "WE" singing instead of "I" really had and have my tears flowing. BRAVO David BRAVO!!! Thank yo SO VERY VERY MUCH... (HELL... I'm still crying while rereading my comment to make sure I didn't mess up...
