September wish...

While the springs of riches flow abundantly through- 
out the mighty earth, still the cries of children remain                                                                                             Upon the brightest star... 
loud and incessant in many a forgotten land; Mouths               
parched with thirst and lips cracked, eyes desperately 
turned toward the blue heavens in plead;

If only the sacred drops of rain would fall all over the 
world in a million silver threads & fountains on every 
corner of the earth sprout in overflow to quench thirst 
of many a child; Oh how my heart would swell in song, 
for my wish would not have been in vain;

Come out children o' come from behind the shade, to 
play & dance in the laughing rain & taste the raindrops 
on your lips; And when the rain comes to cease, look to
the heavens and behold the beautiful vibrant colours of 
the majestic rainbow splashed across the sky;

Child of the universe I know not where you are, only the
twinkling stars in the wide sky serve as our bond while 
we gaze in marvel at the same 'shimmers of wonder' & 
upon which I cast a special wish, that mankind reconcile
with goodwill and share 'earth's' abundance with you;

Night after night I shall scan the skies in search of the
brightest star upon which I will make a silent wish of
good intent specially for You; For some day in the near
future, your children and the children of the earth will
in turn look to you for a fair and beautiful world;

Child of the Earth, may you always feel the gentle breeze 
on your face & may you forever dance & laugh in the rain...
