Wish Upon a Lantern

Embellish me with your favorite decor Light me up and set me free to the night sky I will light up your darkest nights I will be the sacrifice you offer the heavens With me I will carry your hopes Your dreams And your wishes And whisper them to the heavens For I am your lantern The wish that fulfills your heart's desires

Rercy, I love your use of light and dark in this one. "Whisper them to the heavens" is a powerful statement, as are the words "embellish" and "sacrifice". Well done, enjoyed this very much!
