I wish…

By Holly Fisher

I wish…

I had the words to say,

Words to take the pain away,

Words to lighten a heart so gray

But I haven’t any words to say.

I wish…

            There was something I could do,

            Something meaningful just for you,

            Something so you wouldn’t feel so blue,

            But I can’t think of what I can do.

I wish…

            Your days would always be sunny,

            And your life would be sweet like honey,

            That you could live with all in harmony

            But where would go your testimony?

I wish…

            For you only the very best,

            For you to find a time of rest,

            That your life wouldn’t be such a test,

            But it’s through these times you’ll be blessed.

I wish…

            Your heart could see past the pain,

            That you could believe it’s not in vain,

            That through the trials you’ve much to gain,

            But from your anger you must refrain.

I wish…

            That one day you’ll understand,

            That your life had been in God’s hand,

            He hasn’t left you alone to stand,

            And His plan for your life is far more grand.

I wish…

            That you’ll keep praying for hope,

            And through the trials you’ll continue to cope,

            That you’ll remember this when you mope,

            And look beyond the moment with hope.

I’ve no more wishes to wish for you,

For I’m lifting your life to one so True.

He’s the only One who can help you thru,

And makes every morning bright and new.
