WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR
A wish is a hope or desire for something. Fictionally, wishes can be used as plot devices. In folklore, opportunities for "making a wish" or for wishes to "come true" or "be granted" are themes that are sometimes used.
"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 dream,
no requests is too extreme,
when you wish upon a star as dreamers do.
Fate is kind, she brings to those who love,
the sweet fulfillment of their secret longing.
Like a bolt out of the blue, Fate steps in and sees you thru,
when you wish upon a star your dream comes true..."
Listen to the magic song here:
Bitte says:
This song always put tears in my eyes. It´s so powerful and full of memories from my childhood.
The words in the song is very powerful and true if you read it slowly and think about the power
we have in Universe. It´s when we stop wishing and hoping we loose everything and ourself in life.
I read these words in a comment to this song on Youtube today and it was soo good and true words:
Everytime I hear this song...instrumental or sung...it makes me want to be a kid again. To every kid out there who is trying to hurry up and grow up, I say: "Don't be in such a hurry to grow up. Hold onto your childhood as long as you can, because once you ARE grown...all you'll have are the memories".

In fiction a wish is a supernatural demand placed on the recipient's unlimited request. When it is the center of a tale, the wish is usually a template for a morality tale, "be careful what you wish for"; it can also be a small part of a tale, in which case it is often used as a plot device. You can wish on many things for example: wishing wells, dandelions when you blow the seeds, stars and much more. When you wish in a well you throw money in, in the hope your wish comes true, the money normally goes to a charity.
In many stories the wording of the wish is extremely important. For example, characters often say, "I wish I was wealthy." This wording could be taken literally, the wish granted so that at one time the wisher was (used to be) wealthy but is not any more. Saying, "I wish to be wealthy", then because "to be" refers to either the present or the future, they would become wealthy.
A common problem is the granter of the wish being either extremely literal or through malice granting the request in a manner designed to cause maximum distress (such as a request for wealth being granted through inheritance/insurance on the death of a loved one). Certain authors have also tried an "always on" approach: the careless use of the word "wish" in everyday conversation having, often unpleasant, consequences.
IN PRACTISE
Some cultures have customs in which people are encouraged to "make a wish", such as blowing out the candles on a birthday cake, seeing a shooting star at night, tossing a coin into a wishing well or fountain or breaking the wishbone of a cooked turkey. Many believe such wishes can only come true if they are kept a secret from other people. Others, on the other hand, believe that wishes come true only if they are told to someone else.
