stary night

i stare at the star so bright

shining the dark night

almost blinding my sight

i wish

my hands were long enough 

to pick it out of the sky and place it on my palm

i wish

my legs were springly enough

so i could jump high up into the sky

and embraced the golden stars into my arms

or 

i was there amongst them 

giving lights and guidance

to all living creatures on earth

but then

it came dawn upon me

there are so many thing that i wish for in life

but not everything i want becomes my possession

not everything i ask for will be granted

so  

if my hands were not long enough

if my legs were not springly enough

if i could not be amongst the stars giving lights to the living creatures on earth

i have to learn to accept 

only the light it gives

and be thankful that i can still

stare at the twinkling star

although from far

i really wish that He pardons all my past sins 

either intended or unintended

and also my presence and my future sins

for i am still learning to be a better person

if not close to perfect
