I wish…
I wish
We could always be this way
Tight as knots
Quick to laughter
Easy to let go
Of disagreement
Effortless, to create that hug.
I wish
I could always
Be so impressive
So influencing
On your perceptions
So able to fill
Those willing spaces
In your quest
I wish
I could
Always make you feel
As secure
And loved
And safe
As now
As life will always interfere
To try and trip you up.
I wish
I could maintain your ignorance
To the negative possibilities
Of human behaviour
As you are now.
As much as I look forward
To the incredible person
You’re developing into
I wish time would slow
For us
So I could savour
Your journey
Just that bit longer.
I hope
For your future
That the world
Will be supportive
And steady
For you to live within
No less than the
structure
That we know now
And hopefully a lot more.
When you get there
I hope that
You won’t be disappointed
By the real person
I am
With all my flaws
As I am as human as the rest.
Most of all
I hope that our bond
Is as sturdy as now
Until the end…
My greatest achievement
My favourite person
My daughter.
