I Wish

I wish I wish I could touch the skies as I fly up high and watch the earth underneath me lie lie down like a magical pie I can't So I would'nt I wish I could send you a dozen roses with a dozen nightly glows But we both know They would sadly die of an overdose of not breathing before our momentous meeting I could But I would'nt I wish I could walk the seven seas and turn sea water into wine The thought alone sends shivers to my spine I can't So I would'nt I wish I could send you a neckless made of expensive exquisite rare diamonds Without having to steal from public funds Or perhaps forge huge financial bonds To afford such a present I could But I would'nt I wish that I could tell you whats on my mind The right words, I am still trying so hard to find I wish I could heal the sick help the poor, the old and the weak Think of how many people I could cure in a space of one week I wish that trees and leaves could talk Think of all the crowds that will flock around forest paths to have a walk And listen to years of mysteries unfold into unsolved lifes puzzle you are yet to be told I wish that some dreams could come true because one and one makes two And maybe I could finally be with you Most of all I wish that you were here Sometimes that empty space In this day and place I simply cannot bear Copyright 2005 -Sylvia Chidi
