I Wish

 I wish

I wish

I could be there 

to embrace you

to give you comfort

to tell you: “this too shall pass,

life is still grand

love stills surrounds you”

I wish

I wish

I could be there

to distract you from your pain

to provide an escape

to bring fun, pleasure, and joy back

I wish

I wish

I could be there

to hold a friend in need

to embrace a troubled soul

to realign your world

to bring back

the beauty, the joy,

                                           the sun

back into focus

I wish

I hope

I pray

these words reach you

and show you 

how much I care

and love you

I wish….
