Star Wishes

I say goodnight

counting the stars.

Which one is yours?

You left me too soon.

Oh that I could

have three wishes.

They would all be

please come back to me.

I miss your hugs,

the smell of earth

and hard work,

your voice

saying hello.

Peace whispers to me

you are gone

but you did not

leave me alone.

Somewhere in the night sky

you are watching,

smiling as you speak

your three wishes over me.
