A Sea Life Adventure: One Little Star
March 02, 2023
One little star
He wished on every night
His heart full of wonder
And his eyes closed tight.
A very hopeful fellow,
Wished every night
For his friend Marlow

.
His friend was sick, you see,
And Stephen

wanted him to be well.
But he didn’t know how to make that happen,
Or how to ring that bell.
So every night Stephen
Made his way to the fresh air,
Where the moon could shine so bright,
And find that star so fair.
And wish with all his might
His best friend of all,
Would get better, finally.
He’d been sick for a while,
Marlow

, you see,
And he no longer played or raced,
Or did the fun things in the sea.
But Stephen
![Costello Coastal Knobs Starfish 157 Large](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Starfish-Knob-157-angle5_50x50.jpg?v=1677740567)
would visit
And sit by his bed
And talk of things interesting
And pet Marlow’s
![Costello Coastal Knobs 304R Manatee Small Right-facing](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Manatee-knob-304R_50x50.jpg?v=1677740715)
head.
And wish, and wish, and wish
With all his might
That soon Marlow
![Costello Coastal Knobs 304R Manatee Small Right-facing](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Manatee-knob-304R_50x50.jpg?v=1677740715)
would return to health:
What a wonderful sight!
And he’d try to make Marlow
![Costello Coastal Knobs 304R Manatee Small Right-facing](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Manatee-knob-304R_50x50.jpg?v=1677740715)
laugh,
Because it was a long time
Since Marlow
![Costello Coastal Knobs 304R Manatee Small Right-facing](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Manatee-knob-304R_50x50.jpg?v=1677740715)
had done so:
Even after a really bad rhyme.
Bad rhymes usually set Marlow
![Costello Coastal Knobs 304R Manatee Small Right-facing](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Manatee-knob-304R_50x50.jpg?v=1677740715)
off.
He’d laugh and laugh,
Sometimes coughing,
His breath cut in half.
Stephen
![Costello Coastal Knobs 157 Starfish Large](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Starfish-Knob-157-angle5_50x50.jpg?v=1677740567)
felt so guilty when he found out
Because he’d made his friend worse,
Or at least that’s what he thought,
But it was Marlow’s
![Costello Coastal Knobs 304R Manatee Small Right-facing](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Manatee-knob-304R_50x50.jpg?v=1677740715)
joy, not a curse.
Marlow
![Costello Coastal Knobs 304R Manatee Small Right-facing](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Manatee-knob-304R_50x50.jpg?v=1677740715)
loved laughing
And Stephen
![Costello Coastal Knobs 157 Starfish Large](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Starfish-Knob-157-angle5_50x50.jpg?v=1677740567)
made it so easy
Even though sometimes
It made Marlow
![Costello Coastal Knobs 304R Manatee Small Right-facing](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Manatee-knob-304R_50x50.jpg?v=1677740715)
queasy.
And wishing on that star,
Shining so bright,
Gave Stephen
![Costello Coastal Knobs 157 Starfish Large](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Starfish-Knob-157-angle5_50x50.jpg?v=1677740567)
hope,
Hope with all his might.
Marlow
![Costello Coastal Knobs 304R Manatee Small Right-facing](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Manatee-knob-304R_50x50.jpg?v=1677740715)
didn’t get better,
And Marlow
![Costello Coastal Knobs 304R Manatee Small Right-facing](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0013/9988/1776/files/Manatee-knob-304R_50x50.jpg?v=1677740715)
was gone,
His friend’s bright smile a flame.
It blazed brightly for a time,
Then faded,
And after a while,
Got upgraded…
Because the next week,
After some time being sad,
Stephen

went back to wish upon the star,
And thought it shone brighter than ever it had.
