A Wish

Our Earth is a wish a star made,
A long, long time ago.
Star travelled throughout space to find
A place where wish could grow.

The Sun took pity on the star
And gave it warmth and love
And told the Earth when it was sad
To simply look above

For Sun would always light the way,
No need to be afraid,
For it was also once a wish
That someone else had made.Β Β Copyright 2013 Β© Sonya Annita Song

      It makes me super happy you would want to do that to my words! Especially since you have such a keen aesthetic sense. πŸ™‚

    I like your creation myth much more than any iI’ve read, encluding the scientific ones! This earns you some chocolate cookies with your normal ration of dark chocolate with hazel nuts! πŸ˜‰

      Ooo, more chocolatey goodness in every virtual bite! πŸ˜€

    That was so lovely. Was it one of your kid series as it was very kid friendly. I really loved it

    1. Cubby's avatar

      No, it wasn’t one meant for kids. I tend to use simple language regardless. Glad you enjoyed it! πŸ™‚

      1. jerri42's avatar

        It wasn’t the simple language it was just so beautiful and innocent even a kid could of made their own interpretation of your words. I really enjoyed it x

    I especially like this one — the Earth being a wish — a star wishing for something instead of us wishing on stars.

    1. Cubby's avatar

      Yes, that’s exactly what I was going for. πŸ™‚
