Scientist Wishing Upon A Star

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you - j cricket

If light travels at 186,000 mph
And the speed of a wish
Is an unknown variable
that can equal but not exceed
the speed of light

And if the closest star,
other than the sun,
Proxima Centauri,
Is 4.2 light years away -

How long will it take for the wish
To reach that star? and will it come true?
