Wish Upon A Star #Handmade #Folksy

For some reason the song `When you wish upon a star` keeps running through my head, so I decided that maybe doing a stars blog might get it out of my head. It`s been stuck there for days off and on, so it`s time it went methinks.
There have been a few beautiful clear nights over the last week and the stars have been so clear and bright they take the breath away. A stunning panorama that I never tire of looking at. When I stand and gaze my fill of the bright lights against the velvet sky, snatches of verse very often pop into my head. Many are forgotten again but every so often I write them down for use on here when inspiration drags it`s heels.
It was very misty and at times downright foggy yesterday in my part of the world. It did brighten up for a while as the sun burned off the mist, but as the sun went down it came back with a vengeance. Very chilly and damp, not nice at all.
Didn`t seem to do or acheive much of anything yesterday, although I did take the grandchildren, well three of them, into the city for a while. Offered to take the eldest but she was going with her friends. She did offer to let me hang out with her friends, bless her. I suggested that this would be very uncool and she agreed. Not the thing at fourteen to be hanging out with friends and grandmother tagging along. Just the thought makes me giggle. Mind you it would have been even less cool to have her three brothers there too. Tee Hee!!
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!

When you wish upon a star
do you know where you are?
Do you feel very small
and wonder why you`re there at all?
Or does that magical view
do something special to you?
I see the the stars shining bright
and marvel at the stunning sight.
It makes my heart swell with love
staring at the vista above.
I don`t know many constellations,
the few I do is no consolation.
I feel I should know much more
isn`t this what my brain is for.
But when I just stand and stare,
then I don`t really care,
how lacking my knowledge is
because the view just makes me fizz.
I never tire of watching the sky
with twinkling stars, oh so high.
Such things make life worth living,
that and the season of giving!
