Poem 31, Wishes
~
We wish we could have told you,
In words you'd understand,
We wanted you to stay with us.
This wasn't what we'd planned.

We wish somehow to tell you,
How empty we now feel.
A part of us went with you,
A part that time can't heal.

We wish we'd once more hear you,
In your distant, grumbling slur
To hold your head on my lap again
And stroke your whitened fur.

We wish we had you back again,
To fill this empty space.
But one day we'll be together
In a far, far better place.
~
