Up Upon a Star (a poem)
Make a wish over a cake
or look up upon a star
but remember dreams are everyday things
you can do right where you are.
Notice that when you wish
it reminds you what you lack.
When you dream big and act as if
these things are already in the sack.
Dreams are dipped in purpose
and backed up by desire.
A wish, a hope and a prayer
are a sort of, kind of try.
When it comes down to living your life
goals and dreams have more weight.
If you add a little action
your dreams will move and shake.
The vibration you are sending
by dreaming your big dreams
is a message to the Universe
to bring you what you feel.
Remember it’s not so much a car
or a boat or house or ring.
It’s the smiles and the laughter along the way
it’s the happy, feel-good feeling.
So when you’re dreaming about your life
let go of the what and how.
Remember to practice feeling good.
Don’t wait, feel it now.
No matter where you are
or what you possess,
no matter who’s in your life
or the tag on your dress,
You have the power to feel joy.
You can conjure up a love spell.
With awareness you get to choose the thoughts
so you might as well pick well.
The thoughts that align with your dream
are the ingredients in the cake.
What you choose matters
if you want it to taste great.
Thoughts are the important tools
that build your dreams and goals.
If you learn how to use them
you’ll surely watch them grow.
Dreams are like nails.
And wishes are like tape.
You need dreams to craft a life
with a sturdy, solid shape.
So go on, get to dreaming
but make sure you have a plan
A dream without a plan in action
is really just a wish.
