One More Wish

"I wish I may, I wish I might...."
Begins the prayer I weep tonight

Uttered words and heartached will
All amidst my prayer so still

Forgiveness, blessing, keep and guide
Typical prayer suicide

And after that begins the start
Of true prayer prayed within the heart

For all those near and all those far
Gazing on the widowed star

For one life lost not long ago
Another leaving come dawn's glow

For anguished hearts in rooms next door
The souls lost with no hope for more

And finally begins the start
Of true prayer prayed within MY heart

One more prayer of hope so far
One more wish upon a star
