When you wish upon a star
In 1940, the year I was born, the above mentioned song won the Academy Award for best song. Here are the lyrics:
When a star is born
They possess a gift or two
One of them is this
They have the power to make a wish come true
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Some of the lines are so powerful “If your heart is in your dream no request is too extreme”. Now is the time for all of us to find our dream and put our whole heart into it. Fate is kind. She brings to those who love the sweet fulfillment of their secret longing. What is your secret longing? What is that dream that you may have given up because life just got in the way? For me the starry night has always been magical. When I gaze at the immensity of it nothing seems impossible. I would love for those of you who read this blog to respond and share your dream with all of the rest of us. When we let each other know the essence of our heart’s longing, we create an energy that can be like a bolt out of the blue! Remember the quote attributed to Goethe :“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.” From my longing heart to yours, Thomas
