One composed for my Niece O'Malley at the request of my sister in law...

Birthday candles and countless stars
Twinkling in the night.
Pennies in the well
And coins in the fountain.
Dandelion seeds drifting with your breath,
Shooting stars and secrets
Told only to your diary and
A few trusted stuffed friends.
My wish for you,
Is that all your wishes come true
And you can say, I Believe.
