I Wish
I wish I could fly you to Paris
and see the French sun set in your eyes.
I wish I could wear a silly hat
to make you laugh, watch you wiggle
in that sexy way of yours, your body like a cat.
I wish I could see you with the children;
you were so good with children,
your gentleness and goodness made them glow.
I wish I could carry your books,
help you with your coat
and hold the door for you,
treat you like the angel that you were,
buy your favorite perfume,
build you a snowman,
and play you at Scrabble.
Your easy manner held me captive,
your endurance was my rock until the end.
I wish with all my heart
I never had to watch you die.
