The Searcher
A solitary star fell from the sky
with hopes to be caught
in the glimpse of an eye
by a single child.
with hopes to be caught
in the glimpse of an eye
by a single child.
The child that caught it
made a wish.
Sounding small and feeble
in the still night.
Not knowing exactly
how the wish would be granted
he raised his head
his feet firmly planted.
Waiting for hours
for his wish to fall from the sky
he bowed his head
and started to cry.
But, knowing for wishing
he'd gotten quite far
he realized that dreams
don't fall from the stars.
He promised himself
to work extra hard
and reach for his goals
because of one falling star.
