I wish I had known
you better when
I was very young
I wish I had gotten
to spend more time
with you when I
was a little girl
I wish I had learned
more about you
over the years
I wish you had
been more a part
of my children’s
lives
I wish there was
more time to spend
with you now
One wish came true
in that you loved
me and I loved you
