When midnight came, the sky was ablaze with stars.
Starshine was streaming everywhere.
Every star sparkled brilliantly through the moonless night, like a newly polished diamond set on a background of black velvet.
The timing was perfect for wishing on a star.
The children formed a circle with their foreheads touching in the center.
No bickering, no challenges—they had a purpose.
As they put their arms around one another’s backs, Geraldine released their wish to the heavens.
“Starlight, starbright, first star we see tonight, wish we may, wish we might, have the wish we wish tonight.
We wish to discover a new land— A LAND OF LOVE!”
