A Wish Come True

In the dark of night
I seen a light
Was it a Star from a far?
Or a Planet?
Or another sun?
And as I learned,
Could it be
When time begun?
You see they say
If you look to a
Certain way
Through the universe,
What you may 
See is times course.
Or is it
A Rock, shooting across the sky,
To make a wish from?
As you watch it go by. 
You look up and wonder 
And close your eyes 
And a dream comes true
No matter how many
Years go by. 

D.S. 
I wished for a horse. My whole childhood and more.
Comet is his name. Dream on and make a wish again.

Something is Missing

Something is missing…
Looks about
Wonders and thinks
Doesn’t think out loud

Start from the beginning 
Back it up, slow it down 
Think for a minute 
What is wrong 

What didn’t I learn 
or what didn’t I see
What is it 
that will complete me

Time slows down 
As the path becomes clear
I stop and look 
An idea appears

The labyrinth of life
The wonder
The learning 
The possibilities 

The journey ahead
Each day anew
Which way to happiness 
Do I choose 


It’s just the beginning 
Learning and listening 
Feeling time more 
Having strength and a smile too

Enjoining life, the simple things 
Wondering where my path will lead
Choosing wisely Or learning well
Not to repeat mistakes, like going to jail

Make your life best you can
Learn and live 
And make a happy plan

Journey Unknown

This journey through life
Journey unknown 
Do we live through it twice 
Is the future known 

Is the path set before us 
Or do we explore 
Do we travel through time
Or does time show us who we are

Is our fate set
Or do we live
Find happiness pure
And don’t forget to give

See with your heart 
Feel with your mind 
Look inside and follow you 
And dream with all your might

The one thought you might have 
Might change your way
And you might find 
Happiness one day
