Happy Father's Day

sometimes i wish things could be different
that you had not fallen ill
that you had not forgotten us
that you could still remember
how your life was like once

that you could sit up and not fall
that your left hand would not be painful
that you could hold your cup without spilling
that you could be up and about
doing the things that you love most

that eating could be easier
and drinking not a chore
that the daily routines we take for granted
would be a breeze for you
and not a burden to you

that you could realise you're already home
and not keep asking to go home
that you'd want to be out in the living room
and not hide in that corner of yours
feeling sad and lonely

i wish i could read your mind
i wish i could ease the pain
i wish you could let me know
and not keep me guessing
what you are thinking most of the time

i wish that you would know
in your own little world
when sometimes your eyes would glow
moments as precious as gold
that you would sense and know

how much we love you
how much i love you
happy father's day, dad
we love you so much
i love you, too
