Prayerful Wishes

If I could reach each twinkling star,
I'd gather them for you
and make a wish upon each one
and pray they'd all come true.

I'd wish for you a joyful heart—
a soul embraced by peace,
a life fulfilled and satisfied—
blessings that will not cease.

I'd fill each star with hugs and love
and blessings from the LORD.
I'd pray He'd shine His face on you—
my cherished one, adored.

I'd fill each star with lullabies
you'd hear throughout the night,
and pray that you would have sweet dreams,
each bringing you delight.

With all my heart and soul, dear one,
I pray the best for you,
and ask the LORD to keep you safe
in all that you pursue.
