I wish you were here.
I know you would have
loved that joke
as much as me.
You would have
laughed ‘til you were
blue in the face.
How ironic,
that’s the way you looked
the last time I saw you.

I wish you were here.
I know you would have
loved that film
as much as me.
You would have
wept ‘til you had
no tears left to cry.
Funny,
that’s just how I felt
when I said goodbye to you.

I wish you were here.
I know you would have
been so happy
to know that Jason
was going to propose to you.
I can see it now,
you would be speechless.
Strange,
That’s just how I last left you.
Lying still
Alone
Dead.

I wish you were here.
I know you would have
been so proud of us.
We are all coping well.
Jason,
your parents,
and the children.
They are fine.
They keep asking,
‘Where’s Mummy?’
I point to the stars
and tell them,
you are living with the angels.
