The falling star

A shooting star across the night
Is seen through troubled eyes
A wish goes out to greet it
Into the darkened skies

A heart so filled with yearning
And dreams unrealized
Yet it won’t stop believing
For it is mesmerized

The night sky holds such wonders
There must be magic there
If someone else is wishing
Upon this star they share

A love to last a lifetime
Their future to unfold
And love will grow and strengthen
As together they grow old

And in those twilight years ahead
No matter where they are
They both will know the reason
Was a single falling star
