I wish

you happiness

and I wish

you gentleness

and I wish

you everything

and I love,

I love you.

I miss

your tiny hands

and I miss

your shiny cheeks

and I miss

your everything

and I love,

I love you.

we’ll fly

on the silver grass

and we’ll dance

with the willow trees

and we’ll sleep

in our sweetest dreams

and I love,

I love you.

tonight I hear the stars

kick their shoes off above

the signals twinkle far

pour my prayers in the night

“if I could be your fire.”

I wish

you happiness

and I wish

you gentleness

and I wish

you everything

and I love,

I love you.

I miss

your tiny hands

and I miss

your shiny cheeks

and I miss

your everything

and I love,

I loved you.
