The Wish

Can you just taste summer looking at this shot?  It was a blissfully perfect day, the wind was still (mercifully) and the temperature was a delicious 75 degrees.  A delightful day for playing in the park and making wishes.  I started wondering, how is a wish (by a child) different than a prayer by an adult?  It really isn't in my mind.  Their hearts are in the same place, they have faith that their wish will come true, just as it does when they wish on a star.  I don't remember when I stopped wishing on stars but I am sure it was too old...then again, when are you too old to wish?
