  • STARLIGHT WISHES BY ANTHONY CHARLES BLAKE

    Several stars in the night

    They were shining bright

    A child made a wish

    He waved to them a kiss

    Held several dreams

    Embarking like moving streams

    The child wished for a Toy Robot of his own

    Too a parent might find that a bit blown

    But that is what the child’s dream being shown

    There were many other wishes

    Yet too many to mention here

    The child even prayed to the stars in making his wish happen

    The Toy Robot was always his number one goal

    The child asked his parents for the Toy Robot, but his parent felt it was too expensive
    Be careful what you wish for as you might just get it

    There was a knock at the door

    The parents said “We are not expecting any company”

    When the male child opened the door, it was a toy robot at the front door in a box

    It was definitely a surprise, and the parents had no idea who delivered the toy robot

    It is still a mystery even today

    The male child didn’t care because he was given what he wished for in the stars

    Was it the stars or just a coincidence?

    It happened like in an instance

    No one is saying or don’t really know

    In any event, it just goes to show

    Dreams can sometimes turn into reality

    The toy robot’s name was “Perfecto”

    A happy child

    Perhaps one day the stars will give us an answer on how that toy robot actually materialized

    For now, let the child think the stars made his dream possible

    Perfecto on
