Wish I Could Smile

Wish I could find more energy wish my will was stronger I am so weary now of things dark clouds hover over longer wish I could reach out to the stars hold them in my humble hands dance along side moonbeams in sand-scaped desert lands wish I wasn't weak wish I made no mistakes could I breath easier if there was give to these takes wish I could smile but there is sadness in the air. I wish I could be a light but there is no light out there I wish that time went slower I wish that I could soar then I could look down upon you if life wasn't such a chore I wish for all the gold and riches I could shower you in gifts I'd make your sadness happy your spirits I would lift wish we were in heaven with other angels we'd play there'd be so much rejoicing each and every day I wish all our prayers would come true then once more I'd be alone with you

Sigh! Another beautiful... tho melancoly (sp?) write. You never fail to amaze me... You are such a romantic! Grandpa Troll wants to know if he can borrow some of your twist of phrases... to try on some of those girlie Trolls...
