A Wish In My Heart
If I had only known that day would be our last,
I'd sit & stay awhile longer to learn about your past.
Questions about when you were young,
About sights you've seen & things you've done.
Tell me of the path you took,
Your first love, your favorite book.
About how you & Grandpa met,
Or times in life that you regret.
Many things you've seen come & go.
There's so much more I'd like to know.
How it was the day you wed?
The first words your children said.
The first Boston Terrier in your life.
The days your sons each took a wife.
Share with me, your first car,
& what your favorite colors are.
So much I still wanted to know,
I thought we still had time to go.
When that day draws to it's close
It's your smile I'll miss the most.
A longer hug I'd give to you.
As you say I love you too.
Followed by, come back & see me.
Until that day it's in my heart you'll be.
