Wishes

 

Wish we fed more ducks

Wish we spent more time talking

Wish we walked more miles together

 

Wish we shared more smiles

Wish we had hugged more

Wish we had spent longer on the river

 

Wish we had argued less

Wish we had got drunk together

 

Wish I had taught you to drive

To ride a bike and the names of birds

 

Wish we had climbed a mountain

Run a marathon and played more chess

Together

 

Wish we had learnt more chords and

Sang more songs together

Made more dens and built more sandcastles

 

Wish we had caught more fish

Argued less and explored more together

 

Wish we had splashed in more puddles

Climbed more trees and

Laughed more together

 

Wish we had done this and that

Wish we had more time my son

Wish we fed more ducks…

              Oh this is truly a reminder to not be trapped in the building of a life but to actually live it and enjoy it with the ones you love. Lovely wishful poem N. Made me smile yet feel sad at the same time.

              • dusk arising

                My old ma used to say quite often "If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride".
                Born in 1909 what a different world she lived thru her 98 years.

                Your piece gave me great reflection. Wishes eh?

                    Wish we had.... , so many things that we could have done but at least some of those wishes happened otherwise you would not be wishing for more. Wonderful emotive write Neville.
