[Star Light, Star Bright]

「I wish upon a star tonight

I wish I may

I wish I might…」

I can’t remember the lyrics of a song I heard yesterday (or the name for that matter), but I can remember all those little songs and rhymes from my childhood. Is it because they were so repeatedly drummed into us that it’s like muscle reflexes after years of training? Is it because they’ve had more time to nest in my head … like… marinade seeping into the meat?

Maybe…its simply that, like most childhood whims, I like the naiveness of it. Rather than wallow in heart break melodies, I want to stare eagerly at the night sky, whisper the rhyme, make a wish…and believe it will come true.

Star light, star bright

I wish upon a star tonight

I wish I may

I wish I might…

Wake up each day with a smile

End each night with a laugh
