With or Without You

When you wish upon a star
What do you see?
Love? Happiness? Fame? Fortune?
Beauty? Talent? Family? Friends?
What do yuo expect?
A lifetime of achievments?
Worshippers at your feet?
Someone you can count on?
Or just one embrace?
Your life can change
At a drop of a dime
Whithout your consent
What do you do then?
Weep? Pity yourself?
Do you really believe you can't go on?
Your life has meaning
Whether you know it or not
Someone admires you
Even if you don't realize it
When life throws a brick
Build a wall to dodge other bricks
Life goes on
With or without you
