Wish Upon a Star

On the night, of my twentieth year. A shooting star, I saw very clear. My wish was, said into the air. A baby to love, either or, I don"t care. Many years later, the wish all but forgotten. Until, the night of his birth. All the wait and worry, he was well worth. Moonlight kissed his cheeks, as he first nursed. Calm, comfortable, warm, and just fed. I snuggled my newborn, in bed. Stars from the window, were shinning above his head. Nothing more beautiful, enough words, could never be said. As I turned, for just, one more look. My breath, was actually took. A star exploded, as if the sky shook. Definitely, something for the baby book. Was I reminded, in a special way? That my wish, had only been delayed. A miracle, all the doctors say. My baby boy, he was born today. Mom loves you Cameron
