When you wish upon a star .... Writing Prompt

"I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight."

Often a wish turns into a dream. A dream turns into a goal.  Very often a goal can be reached with planning and a hard work. Sometimes it takes patience, understanding, and asking for help from others.

Write a story about something you wish for. Do you wish for a new bike or a baby brother? Do you wish you report card sported all As? Perhaps you wish your mother or father could come home after serving in the military. What do YOU wish for and what do you think you need to do to make it happen?
