The ending of the poem is what grabbed my heart the moment I read it.  It reminded me of the Helen Keller quote, “When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”   It is so true that we stare at what once was so long and so often, we completely forget that there might me other, better options out there - that there are other stars out there to wish on.  That there are other people in the world to meet, other jobs to take.  We want the world to be ours, yet we do not see the whole world as it is...

Sad, but often true thoughts
that we have all felt sometime in our lives. Great writing.

So sad Simone. Life is sad for many people. Happiness is really a luxury. A very nice poem.
