I Wish Poem by Pearl L Johns

I Wish



I wish with all my heart
my soul, my very being.
That I could take your pain away.
I wish I could hold you in my arms
like I did when you were just a little girl.
Now you are grown and have more than
your share of pain.
Demons that only you can see
Nightmares that also come in day.
I wish I could take your pain away.

We feel so helpless when we cannot take away the pain of those we love, especially our children. Lovely words.
