One Wish

If i could make one wish
you know id wish for you
to see your perfect smile
in every single room
to have you here besides me
instead of up in heaven 
to tell you that i miss you
instead of whispering it while in bed
if i could have one wish
and know it to come true
id wish you never died
not till you were one hundred and two
i wish you didnt know pain
and that you hadnt left
id wish you would come in tomorrow
and say suprise i wasnt really dead
if i could make one wish 
your the wish id make
to bring you back to earth
and share a cold milkshake
to hear you laugh again
and know that id join in
to see you in the hallways
even when you were suppose to be in class
if i could make one wish
you know id make it right
id wish that you were back on earth
this very same night
if i could wish one wish
id wish we werent in pain
because i know the tears you cried
fell down as angels rain
and if i could look in your eyes
and see that happiness again
id beg you not to leave us
no, youd never leave again
and so before i close
just know with in our hearts
that none of us, from you, will ever truly part
because youve touched us all
no not in the physical sense 
yes you tried your hardest
and yes you made your dent
but you touched our hearts
with every smile and every laugh
and if we could make one wish
Russell, we'd wish you back


R.I.P Razz, We Miss You So Much
