Dreams and Wishes



I was the brightest star in your sky
when your world was dark.
I was the hand that held you tight
when you were ready to give up.
I was the warmth that filled your life
when there was nothing to hold up,
I was the beating in your heart
that kept you sane and alive.

I am still here with you
for as long as you believe in me.
I am your wings so you can fly,
I am your wishes and your dreams,
Hold on to me and I will bring you
your new tomorrow...
your new light.
