I wish...

Almost 3 months have passed

Since I saw you last

but you weren't there

this life you couldn't bear.

I wish for a moment you could have felt

this pain to us that you have dealt.

I know then you wouldn't have conceded.

You would have realized just how much you're needed.

I wish I would have seen the clues.

That doctors hadn't thought it just a ruse.

I wonder if you'd just held on a little longer.

I'm sure we could have made you stronger.

I wish your hand I could have held

those hopeless thoughts I could have dispelled

How could we not be worth staying?

The boys, they so miss playing.

The one man I thought would never leave

has done just that not believing eternally I'd grieve

I wish a glimpse you could have had

I sure do miss you Dad.
