I Wish, I Wish Poem by Seyamak Ghambari

I Wish, I Wish



I wish I could see my mother one more time,
Kiss her face and hold her in my arms tight,
I wish I could sit in the garden,
Watch her watering her Roses in the evening time, But I can’t
I wish I could go on a journey with my Dad,
To Ahwaz, Abadan, Khoram Abad in summer time,
I wish I could go with Him,
To visit family and relations in the evening time, But I can’t
I wish I could smell my mother’s hair one more time,
Or hold my Dad’s face in my hand, but I can’t
I wish I could go on family trips by train to Mash-had,
Lots of love, laughter and joy by all to be had,
I wish I was in my father house,
Living without a care and responsibility of this torturous ways,
I wish I could test my Mother’s cooking one more time,
Delicious and plentiful food, when everybody comes at dinner time,
I wish all that and much more, but I can’t.

I wish I could, hold my sister’s hand,
Take a walk in streets of Rotterdam, but I can’t,
I wish I could go to the park with bother and sisters,
Have a picnic and play ball with my in-laws, but I can’t,
I wish I could hold my sister and kiss her face, but I can’t
I wish I could tell them, lets not waste our lives, but I can’t,
I wish, I wish, but nothing left that I can.

Once we were like a ship, with strong chains anchored in the sea,
No wind or wave could move us in despair,
Strong and solid we held tight,
Proud and content went about our lives,
But one day chain broke and we were left loss,
Travelling without a commander to the open shores,
Wind and waves battered the ship every where it went,
Dented and broken, it set on a lonely shore,
Slowly one day, will be lost to the sea forever more.

What a waste that would be, not to retain our dignity,
Without unity and bond, headed straight to solitude,
Is this what life has come to be,
I wish, part of it, I never to be.
