Christmas Wish
Our friendship started when I could barely speak.
We have been through hell and back again.
You gave me everything I needed to live.
You gave me love when no one else did.
You picked me up when I stumbled and fell.
You were there to catch my tears when I'd cry
You were there to hug me tight.
The time has come to pay you back.
I am here to take care of you dad.
I guess all the drinks have caught up with you now.
Your lungs are shutting down,
Your liver is toast,
You are suffering and I feel at a loss to help.
I hate seeing you so weak and frail.
If I had a wish to make
It would be for no material thing.
nor would it be anything for me.
My Christmas wish is for you to live.
For you to get your liver transplant.
Your days are numbered and you are getting worse.
Just know that I am praying hard for you.
I am looking for a miracle this Christmas day
And hopefully god hears my prayers.
