I Wish

I wish I could tell you how much I miss you

I wish I could tell you, Mom still serves you a drink every morning

I wish I could tell you, she visits your grave twice a week

I wish I could tell you, sometimes she unconsciously calls your name in her deep sleep

I wish I could tell you, every time I dream of you the more I wanted to see you

I wish I could tell you, every time I remember you my head hurt from holding back my tears

I wish I could apologize for all the times I had let you down,

tell you that I love you,

and let you know how proud I am to be your daughter

Dad, I will never be able to tell you all of those things,

but could you possibly see that from where you are now?
