Love Poem: Wishing

Wishing

I have often looked at stars 
and thought
why wish so high and far?

when greater chance 
for happiness
can be near where you are:

The extended hand of a neighbor
more than happy to share the labor

A warm greeting smile
from one 
no further than a corner-store aisle

(perhaps...there's an overlooked heart~
dearly longing for a tender part)

Often, our best way forward
if at all possible
is to humbly begin again at the threshold 
of a wrong footed start --
