Million Stars

There are a million stars up in the sky But, only one star in a million attracts my eye, Even though they all shimmer and they all shine There is only one star that I want as mine. So, when I wish upon the stars at night I wish for only one to always to be in my sight, So, upon that one and only star I will make my wish Sadly to other stars and people I must seem selfish. But, I indeed am not a selfish or a thoughtless man There is one star and wish for everyone that will and can, When I was a young boy I found my one and only star It was shining down and upon me from afar. Of the million stars I then chose just that one It became the star that I make my wishes upon, When at night I go out and up at the sky I do stare I look for my star and hoping it is still hanging there. Sometimes I will lie on my back and I will count the stars Happily I will think to myself as I know that they are ours, And that one star will be mine until that day that I die It is the one and only star shining for me up in the sky.
