Just One Wish

For all those fathers who are not here to celebrate Father's Day.

If I could make just one wish
I know that it would be,
a wish to turn back the hands of time

when you were here with me.
To hear you sing your favorite songs
while I sing harmony.
If I could make just one wish
how glorious it would be.

If I could see your face again
and  hold it in my hands
to see you smile and kiss your cheek,
I’d walk a thousand miles.
If only I had wings to fly
I’d wish that they would send
me souring high above the clouds
beyond the rainbow’s end.

Where moonbeams light up the sky
and the river meets the sun
with a chorus of angels dressed in white
 opening wide the gates of Heaven.
Just one wish is all I’d ask
to spend more time with you.
To think that we could meet again

would be a dream come true.

Beautiful poem! You translated into words how I felt every time I think of that special person in my life. Thank you so much for sharing this poem. :)

I am very happy that you were able to relate to my poem. So many times we wish for one last hug, to feel our loved ones and talk to them one more time. I hope you are finding comfort in the good memories you have of your special person. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and your wonderful review.

I do understand the poem. Regret and the need for more time with someone we loved. I hold a few secret wishes. Thank you Dara for sharing the amazing poetry.

And thank you for warm words. If only we could have second chances. There never seems to be enough time when it comes to those we love. Take care my friend!

Thank you so much. Sometimes the words have a mind of there own. I felt I was just the messenger :-)

[Chris Shaw]

I know exactly what you mean Dara. The muse using us as a channel. Sometimes I look at some of my stuff and think, "Did I write that?"

;))

Love writes the most beautiful poetry, Dara! Smiles and blessings, dearling.

' ..If I could make just one wish ~ I know that it would be, ~ a wish to turn back the hands of time ~ when you were here with me. ' That says it all, doesn't it.

[Dara]

Yes, and you said it so well! Love whether it about the loss of or gain is a powerful motivator. My words literally came out as fast as I thought them. I only hope it doesn't sound too much like a hallmark card. Anyway, your review means so much to me. A million thanks you's, you :-)

[emmajoy]

Words like that are pennies from Heaven, dear lady. :)

[Dara]

Thank you so much my dear Irish friend!

[emmajoy]

My pleasure always, Dara. But, please forgive me for being an English friend... :)

[Dara]

Oh my, not sure where I came up with that. For some reason I pictured you living off the coast Emerald Isle. I was never good at geography! Thank you for correcting me :-)

[emmajoy]

Where doesn't matter to the rich of mind and spirit, Dara!!! We're friends and that's the defining star, I live one foot in the countryside, other near the sea - life has its glorious moments. xx..

[Dara]

Thank you so much Emma. You are such a bright light and make the world a better place for it. The countryside and the sea, it doesn't get better than that :-D

[Donna]

This is so beautiful Dara! That's a great wish!

[Dara]

Thanks so much Donna. If only wishes would come true. So nice to see you here. Take care!
