Upon a star

Toni Dulaney 1989 (Ohio)

Tonight I wished upon a star so bright,
Wishing for all of my wrongs to seem right.
I feel like god sent that star down just for me,
It fell down from heaven for only my eyes to see.
Having his angels pour out all of their love,
With beaming rays of light sent from above.
So late at night when your feeling blue,
Look up to heaven you'll find yours too.
