I wish I’d seen your body

I wish I’d seewmn you a body when you died

Your silent Face your shutteted sea green eyes.

I wish I’d held your hand when you lay down

You didn’t like your hands so square and brown

I wish that I could have  talked to you again

Your eyes are closed I think you were in pain.

You were only six when daddy died

All these years you suffered but you tried

Now you had enough of what life lends

You have gone before me to the end.

I’d like to lay my head against your breast

Go with God, for now it’s time to rlest
