The Starry Night

Dedicated to my Dad who works abroad.. Miss you Dad!

 I look up above me,

Look up at the starry night,

The stars twinkling down at me,

With the Moon to give them company.

 

I was awed by the night,

And tried to count them all,

My eyes moving from one star to another,

When suddenly they caught a shooting star!

 

“Quick, make a wish!” Dad told me,

And me in my earnest simplicity,

Closed my eyes and put my hands together,

And made a small wish.

 

When my eyes found light again,

I found no one beside me,

I looked up at the sky and saw,

The Moon too had no company.

 

From that day on, I look up at the sky every night,

Hoping to find the stars twinkling,

As that would be an indication that would tell me,

My Dad is back with me!

It shows your desperate love for your dad...Cute, warm and brief; it still describes your hope.
Loved the tenderness of the heart. Great job!
