Your Dreams Will Become You
(Or, "When You Wish Upon A Star 2.0")
[A "When You Wish Upon a Star" song lyrical adaptation]
When a star is born, they possess
a gift or two—one of them is this:
they have the power to make
your dreams become you...
...For, "when you wish upon a star,"
it makes a difference to who you are,
because anything that your heart
desires will become you...
...So, if your heart is in your dream,
no desire is too extreme; for,
when you wish upon a star,
your dreams will become you...
...Fate does not mind—she will
always bring to those who love
the karmic fulfillment of
their secret longings...
...And like a bolt out of the blue,
fate steps in and then becomes you;
for, when you wish upon a star,
your dreams will become you...

My Writing Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: This poem is an lyrical adaptation of the song "When You Wish Upon A Star," which was written by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington for Walt Disney's 1940 adaptation of Pinocchio. The original version was sung by Cliff Edwards in the character of Jiminy Cricket. And it is one of my favorite songs! (Please see the hyperlink below for the video.)
And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog (please see the hyperlink below for the blog), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Small All White in the Forest."
This poem was lyrically adapted in Portland, Oregon.

"When You Wish Upon a Star" from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia—which is funded primarily through donations from millions of individuals around the world, including this blogger (I make a totally affordable monthly donation):
"'When You Wish Upon a Star' is a song written by Leigh Harline music, and Ned Washington lyrics for Walt Disney's 1940 adaptation of Pinocchio. The original version was sung by Cliff Edwards in the character of Jiminy Cricket, and is heard over the opening credits and in the final scene of the film. The song has since become the representative song of The Walt Disney Company and used as such in the production logos at the beginning of many Disney films. The recording by Cliff Edwards and Chorus was released by Victor Records as catalogue number 261546 and 26477A (in the US) and by EMI on the His Master's Voice Label as catalogue number BD 821."
