I Wish I Could Poem by Rachel Dowd

I Wish I Could

Rating: 5.0


I wish I could tell you I love you
I wish I could take back those times I did not
But I can't and I never can
I wish I could take back those times that I was mean
That I had an attitude
But I can't and I never can
I realized to late what you mean to me
Grandpa I love you
Grandpa I miss you….I'm sorry for my tears

You saved me from the orphanage where you were forced to go
You saved my baby brother's life but I never said thank you
Grandpa I love you
Grandpa I miss you…..I'm sorry for my tears

I can never again hug you
I can only see your smile in your pictures
I can never ask about the wars you fought in
I can never hear your stories again
Grandpa I love you
Grandpa I miss you…….I'm sorry for my tears
I wish I could tell you I love you
But I can never do it again

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I never got to say goodbye
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Rachel Dowd 04 December 2012

I cried as I wrote this and I still cry everytime I read it. It holds alot of meaning for me. I wrote this from my heart each line is a piece of my broken heart. Poems like this shows some history of the writer like when i said he saved my from the foster care he did. When i said he saved my baby brother he did. My baby brother had meningitis and my mom and dad could not afford the care my grandparents steped in and payed for the care and saved him. But even now my baby brother who is only 10 months younger than me still suffers from all the damage that the meningitis did. He is 15 and still cant talk.

Rachel Dear, he sounds like a warm loving wonderful man. He knew how much you loved him, He's probably with you now as an angel. He would want happiness for you and wouldn't want you to feel bad. He's in a better place and still with you. You just can't see him, Sometime if you are real still you might even feel his presense! A good poem from your heart and I hope this is some comfort for you!
