A child's wish

I wish I could draw you a picture
to wish you well.
Write out the cure
and fix the farewell.

I wish I could break into my piggy bank
to buy you years.
Take a photo to remember
and edit the tears.

I wish I could give you my teddy
to keep.
Sing you a lullaby
and help you to sleep.

I wish I could share my heart
to make you stay.
Hold your hand forever
and wish it not be today.
