Shortly before you lost your ability to speak without wearing an oxygen mask,
You grabbed me and pulled me close to you.
Through the hiss of concentrated room air via nasal prongs,
You showed me the depth and the breadth of your soul.
One hand on my arm, the other in my back pocket
I stand in awe of your force of will.
One heart beats too fast, the breaths so shallow
My heart bleeds, I cry inside but my tears do spill.
How did this happen, how did I let you suffer?
Was I numb or just plain scattered?
Complaining is not your way, you work for what you have
Family, friends, and a love that truly matters...
I wish I had more time
I wish you had more time
To swallow my love into your
Soul...
The sparrows and the squirrels
And the rabbits and owls
Hear my sobs and then crawl back
Into their holes.
I wish I had more...
Chances to update and bore
And gather more acorns
For you to count,
I wish you could know
What a force of nature you stored
Inside your loud, lusty and lively
Friendly face.
I wish and I wish
For one more kiss
From your mouth
Ooooh ooooh...
I wish and I wish
To fulfill a long list
Of dreams that could come
True...
