I Wish

I wish I would have been there with you Throughout my whole life Watching you get old and tired Watching your hair turn white I wish I could have been there with you Those many years ago When you fought your biggest battle When you suffered so I wish I could have been there with you, Every single day Never of missed a phone call Never missed a chance to say, hey You are the only person That was always there for me From the moment I took my first breath You held me so proudly And now I hold you on my breast We shall never be apart And when you gently close your eyes You’ll forever be in my heart Written by Brenda Meier-Hans 09.23.2014 Mother Daughter Relationship

Thanks Robin. I was married 5000 km away from home, so I missed out on many years with my mom.
