If Ever

I wish I had had a chance
A chance to cast a single glance on them
Them who would always be by my side
Motivating me on how to conquer hardships
Giving me wisdom so as to overcome obstacles
Streams on my cheeks could have dried up...
Only leaving tear drops of joy
If...Ever...

If...Ever...I had her who carried me 
Nine months in her womb
At least i would have someone 
Someone who could understand me better
The second from my Creator
Who would know the 'right and wrong' about me
Maybe I would suite enough 
To match my generation

I also desire i could not call my Dad 'dead'
I would always smile...
Smile that i have someone
Who bear responsibilities of his child
Beat me up so i could differentiate
Between right and wrong
And always be proud of me
When i succeeded my goals

Unfortunately...i have to learn
To bear my own responsibilities
As the Most High made
An irreversible move
I always give thanks
As His move built a castle,
A castle of courage in me,
Though i somehow weep...
If...Ever...
