Our Wish
If we could wish upon a star
and see our wish come true
the only thing we could wish for
is what we cannot do.
To bring our daughter back to us
without her earthly pain
for memories now are all we have
since parting was such pain.
I know there's other parents
who have shared our darkest night
but children shouldn't go first
we should be their leading light.
Although I speak the mysteries
of the mind within the soul
within our hearts we suffer
from a huge big gaping hole.
We strive for reassurance
that at last we'll meet again
but until then, like others,
we just learn to live with pain.
