Listen to poem:

Wish you were here TRI

Wish you were here, beneath the sky,
The night is soft, the clouds so near,
The stars shine down, falling they fly.
But still, I wish that you were here.

The night is soft, the clouds so near,
Beneath the stars, the night is still,
The moon's in mourning, its light a chill.

Shooting stars like streamers fly.
Laughter it echoes, it lilts the breeze,
It brings me peace, sets me at ease.

But still, I wish that you were here.
The birds will come and sing delight,
If you return to me tonight.
