Wishes

"May you get all your wishes but one, so you always have something to strive for." ~Someone Irish ;)

There is this cliche phrase that claims you can wish for the world. 

I think this is silly simply because there are far greater things than the world that you could wish for. 

If I were to claim that my wishes are so grand that the they could compare to the world then everything I want has become something earthly. 

I will dream of heaven and wish upon far greater things.

I am satisfied with blowing dandelions for a little while longer; Content with counting a few more shooting stars; I'll save these wishes for much later. Locked away for safe keeping in dusty corners on my shelf. I'll memorize the constellations and I'll know just the way they dance. 

 I know that I will never be as happy as in the midst of striving for this endeavor. 
Let me dream a little while longer. A few more foot steps up the hill before I climb my mountain. The adventure's always the best part of the story.

And every time the fight is beyond bearing I will remember not to let drifting dandelions and falling stars go to waste. 

The one who gives me the spirit to make wishes also gives me the courage to pursue them.  
He has given me these dreams, and I will fulfill them in his name.
