Voices From Our Childhood
Star Light, Star Bright, first star I see tonight,
Wish I may,
Wish I might,
Have this wish I wish tonight,
I wish ........
Funny how the voices from our childhood, and the memories associated with them, stay with us throughout our lives. And how we pull them out as we age, and replay them again and again.
I don't know about you, but I love stepping outside on a random dark evening, tipping back my head, looking up at the sky and saying this poem - a simple verse that I've known since the time I was a little girl, and making my wish. Of course. You can't ever forget the wish, you know.
My wishes have changed over the years. The days of self-absorption are gone and these days, my wishes are for my beautiful children. I squeeze shut my eyes and say this childhood poem, and wish them lives filled with health, love, happiness and good things.
It's a little thing, but something I love doing. What about you? What are the voices from your childhood and how do you use them? Think about it, while you listen to this song - a treasure that I just discovered tonight.
