I wish...

I wish I could…

I wish I could show you,
These feelings inside,
Of cold raw emotions,
To which I will hide.

I wish I could tell you,
A thousand tales to see
Of Goodness and love,
And what’s meant to be.

I wish I could take you,
Far beyond the sky
To a place of hope,
A whisper of a sigh.

I wish I could hold you,
So close and so near,
And feel the heartbeat,
Of whom I hold dear.

I wish I could say,
What you mean to me,
The power of friendship,
For the whole world to see.

I wish I could save you,
A thousand unshed tears,
And help to chase away,
All those niggling fears.

I wish I could help you,
And show you the way,
The path so worn and rugged,
And guide you this day.

I wish I could lead,
And you follow me,
To a new fantastic place,
To which I hold the key.

I wish you would stay,
And help me this day,
But look at me now,
As down to death I lay.
