The Star I Wished Upon

The star I'd wished on came to see

And wiped away a tear from me

The child I'd wished for I'd received

He was as precious as could be

I'd held him for a little while

And every day adored his smile

It was forever I believed

But now my heart is put on trial

So overwhelmed by former years

And overcome by countless fears

Addiction had my boy deceived

And had reduced us both to tears

The star's light glimmered in the black

She whispered though I felt attack

That I would not always be grieved

And promised my son will come back
