A Wish

A wish thought as night falls My only wish upon a star. I don’t wish for fancy cars Or scorching warmth of spotlights. A high position is not on my list And vast capital is not my wish. It is not long days of glamour I thirst for Nor to sign a handful of autographs. My only wish is to pass on As much of the joy that I may; To burn a torch for what I know For what humans lack is faith, I know. I only wish to turn this world around From a dump into a sanctuary. In which sorrow slips your mind And all you think is you can’t stop smiling. That is my only wish, To know a world without pain. What is yours?
