One Last Wish

During all the Holiday celebrating

Your lost loved ones

Are still on your mind

Feeling so bad

That they've left you behind,

Even though you know that's not true

Doesn't help

From feeling so blue,

You feel the loss of them

And it's so shattering

Wanting to hold them

A wish causing maddening,

But it would be special

Just to have one more day

That extra gift you would love

But then you realize this wish

Will not end your way.

Wishing... I funny concepts,is it not? A wild creature will never wish or dream, but we can spend eternities stuck in wishes. Likewise, a wish can change the world forever when acted on or allowed to act upon us. When loved ones still fuel our dreams they are never lost to us.
Enjoyed the read.

This write for me is really relaxing,graceful,hhmm I wish I had a burger right now. Honestly I wish I could see my grandparents again......

[Tarry Franck]

Awe - I wish I had many I've lost...maybe they would deliver a burger with them. ;)

[Rob Santana]

Things do not always go as we want them but then we are not the architects of life, only what occurs within our hearts and minds. Well done.

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you so much

when ever i get down about my passed love ones my father always makes me laugh, because i can hear him from beyond the grave telling me to wish in one hand and s**t in the other to see which hand fills first. he is laughing his a*s off, somewhere out there! remember them as they would want you to, and that helps!!!! excellent write...

[Tarry Franck]

That's hilarious! And yes I agree...need to cherish the good times and stop mourning. They would not want that.

[quinfinn]

certainly not, remember....whenever you think of someone who has passed...your thoughts travel to them....

[Hamza]

absolutely ..
there's no fun wishing for the same .. and God i can relate to that because this year i lost so much and so many precious ones that it only brings tears ... and my eyes already have started ..

that's all part of life
how well depicted ...
thank you for sharing ..

[Tarry Franck]

Sorry for your loss and didn't mean to make you cry. Thank you for such kind words.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

The holidays bring about much sadness when one thinks about the loved ones that have passed. You feel left behind. You know that what your feeling isnt right, but you just can't help yourself. The loss you feel is crushing to your emotions and you just wish that you had just one more day then have to come to terms with the fact that it will never be. Beautiful Tarry

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you so much dear Neva

It is hard to let go. but the tie is never broken

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you for reviewing and yes I do know the tie is never broken but doesn't stop from missing them so much.

Some people live in your heart forever, their loss felt keenly on special days. Good write.

Nice job tarry I think aot of people can relate to spending holidays without loved ones. Its hard and makes it harder to make it through

[Tarry Franck]

Yes it truly does. Have to do the best you can and push yourself through it. Spent hours crying Christmas night after everyone was gone I cried most of the night missing my Father and several others.

[C.C. Marx]

I'm truly sorry for your loss, this my first year without my grandmother and I miss her but I know she would've wanted me to be happy this time of year

[Tarry Franck]

Sorry for you loss too. You're right they would want us to be happy and I know deep down inside he's in a much better place...no longer suffering.

[C.C. Marx]

Exactly remember him as well and happy not when he was sick, its hard to move on and let go but as time goes on the burden of sadness in our hearts is lifted each passing day a little more

[Frieda P]

So sad to think another year without those we cherish so dearly. This speaks to me as I'm sure it does many others. Thanks for sharing it.

[Tarry Franck]

I know Frieda - I'm hoping it didn't cause you too much sadness. Thank you for being strong enough to read and leave a review.
