Your Dreams Can Come True!
Wish Upon A Star by Badger_29
"We are stardust, we are golden We are billion-year-old carbon And we got to get ourselves Back to the garden" Joni Mitchell

 
When you see a fading star
 wish quick while it is falling
To be all that you are,
smile and seek your calling
 
This life which we are living
is so very brief
I have found out that giving
to others brings relief
 
At the end of the day
when you lay
your weary head for sleep-
those around you will say
that you had a way
of caring in a deep
 
Manner that shows
that where you go,
there will be comfort
instead of confusion
 
Learn how to slow
as you go, they will know
that instead of problems,
you become part
of the solutions!
 
One thing I have learned
going through these notions,
is that my fire burns
with passionate devotion;

 To find and help others, 
(I don't have to look far)
brings more satisfaction.
 
Instilled by my mother,
(Who was and is also a star),
gets a more positive reaction
 
So go ahead, wish upon that star,
but remember to only ask-
things for others, near and far
in this manner you'll bask
 
In the light
of goodness divine
Doing what's right,
you will truly find

You are achieving
immortality 
 Onlookers believing,
by what they truly see
 
A genuine, honest
one that stayed pure
Smelling good for the rest,
having used less manure
 
So, utilizing less,
you'll accomplish more
Your karass will be blessed,
and meet at The Holy Door
 
That opens to
the pearly gates-
for the very few
who truly wait
 
In earnest anticipation
Hear more, talk less
and see the relation

~ship~
 
Between where you are
and where you want to be
Look near, then far and
expect serendipity

 
Observe the cosmic balance;
and let it solve that riddle
Cultivate your talents,
 stay away from the middle
 
Taste and see
that He is Good!
Then you will be
all that you should
 
See the light
that shines in their eyes
then it might
come as no surprise
 
By being last now,
you will be first then
And understand how,
why, where, and when
 
Just Who you are,
in the grand scheme
They will travel far
to bask in your  beam
 
And when found
casting warm glow,
He, they and you
will surely know
 
The Truth-
that you are 
that shining star

Author Notes
Extra Author Notes:
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Gail Denham for giving me one of the best reviews that I've ever had here. She helped me tighten this one up.

By "Observe the cosmic balance", I am referring to Karma, Ouroboros, you reep what you sow, etc.;
to everything there is a balance,
"You we'll see the light in their eyes", I'm referring of our Christian and human responsibility of bringing out the best in others and see what's good in them.
also the light of acknowledgement and Enlightenment when you become connected with positive social networking,
"karass" a term that Kurt Vonnegut Jr., science fiction author, incorporated into his book titled Cat's Cradle.
This term refers to your circle, everybody that you come into contact with.
The reason that I say "smile" is because your outward attitude has a great deal to do with how you are perceived. So if you go out with a smile on your face, your enemies will be disarmed!

Relevant Scripture
Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Matthew19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

Mark 10:31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

I continue to cultivate my faith by coming into contact with people who tell me that I'm the only one who's ever done something positive for them in a long time. As I was writing this Iwas at a doctors appointment here in Sacramento and by chance ran into a fellow struggling addict. He was hungry so I gave him a can of pork that I got from Food Locker and prayed with him. He cheered and brightened up visibly.

So it is my prayer as you read this that you will wish upon a star and if your faith is in God above not only will your dreams come true, but you will be that star!

"We are stardust, we are golden We are billion-year-old carbon And we got to get ourselves Back to the garden"

About Woodstock:

This song is a cover of a Joni Mitchell song. She wrote it in response to Graham Nash's description of the events there. Mitchell's version is melodic and thoughtful, while the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young version focuses on harmonies and is more up-tempo.
