Wishing

First star knows about wishes.
She hears them murmured wistfully:
Star light,
Star bright,
First star I see tonight,

First star understands wishes.
She gathers them like forget-me-nots:
I wish I may,
I wish I might,
Have this wish I wish tonight
.

First star hears wishes,
and then promptly forgets them.
Star light,
Star new,
I wasted many a wish on you.

First star regrets her lapses,
but what can we expect from a ball of gasses?
I wish I may,
Oh, wish I do,
To someday have a wish come true
.
