If this one wish, could just come true
I'd believe that there is a heaven
To share my life and heart with you.
When I forgot, you always knew
I would roll the luckiest seven
If this one wish, could just come true.
You taught me how to re-think blue,
and respect the love I have been given
To share my life and heart with you.
I can appreciate the things you do
Enough to let God know... we're even
If this one wish could just come true.
The shame of what I put you through?
Those nights you waited up past Eleven
To share my life and heart with you.
Thank you for our son, he loves you too
The way you're selfless, and you enliven
If this one wish could just come true?
I'd share my life and heart with you.

You have just opened your heart so honestly in this poem. I can't really ask for more than that....as a reader i found this incredible to read. Absolutely brilliant and brutally honest i feel as well. Thanks for entering. Sorry on the late response.

This is really sweet. I like seeing the softer side of a poet, lets a person know they live life, not just write about it. Athena

Good write. Thanks for entering. Peace~Jessa~ -
Sigh, you know, you never cease to amaze me when I see your heart like this. I wish that the father of my child had half the respect for me that you have for the mother of yours..and it's so evident in this poem. Very well done..but ..I still don't think I can be brought to write form poetry.

awwww...so sappy and yet so very beautiful. (sappy in a good way not mushy and not overly sentimental..just the right touch of each) nicely done. im sure your son knows how much you love him.
if that's him, he's beautiful.

This is very poignant and touching. If there is anytime of the year when we all seem to wish...it is this time right now...the holidays, the new year...time to reflect on what was and is no more and what may still come to pass in the days before us.
Liked the pic too...he's got great blue eyes! gonna be a heartbreaker, for sure.
