When You Wish Upon A Star

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 dreams
No request is to extreme

When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

It was just like any other night, as I glanced into the sky and saw a beautiful sight. For just at that moment, a single star fell from its spot high in the sky. I quickly made a wish.

I could have wished for so many things. I could have…but instead I wished for my BQ at Grandma’s Marathon. It was the first thing that came to my mind. With 8 days until the race, what else was I going to think of? Still, I felt a bit guilty for not having something else on my mind.

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
As sweet fullfillment of their secret drowns
Like a boat out of the blue
Fate steps in and see’s you through

Moma when you wished upon a star
Your dreams come true

Should I have wished for my children instead…for their health, their learning, or their happiness? Or my husband? Or my Mother? Should I have skipped the wish and got my son’s attention and shared the lovely sight? All of this desire for EVERYONE to have health and a joyful life is in my heart; I just didn’t think it at that moment. It is amazing that it takes so little time for a star to fall from so high up.

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
As sweet fullfillment of their secret drowns
Like a boat out of the blue
Fate steps in and see’s you through

Baby when you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
When you wished upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Your dreams come true

When I first set out on the quest for qualification, it was just a dream. People would wish me “good luck” and I knew that I would need it. It’s not just a dream at this point. I have worked harder this time. I have been consistent in my pace runs, speed work, long runs, and training mileage. I have trained so hard, for *so* long. The question is: Is it enough? I have to believe that it is. Luck won’t get me there, but I’ll take it anyways. Luck, good karma, wishes on falling stars, whatever might help me to be able to report that I made my dream a reality.
A “dream come true.”
