Comic Relief Inspiration

The other week whilst watching Comic Relief I was inspired to write this poem. A number of you will be aware of it but for those who missed it your comments would be appreciated.

Wishes

I wish that I could heal my friend

And take away his pain,

And on me he could depend

To bring him joy again.

I wish that I could take his place

But I know that cannot be

And when I look down at his face,

A smile is all I see.

I wish for him that I'll stay strong

As I take his hand,

For I know, it won't be long

'Til he's in a better land.

I wish he did not have to die

But that's how it's going to be,

And I wish I knew the reason why

The Lord chose him, not me.

I wish for him I could do more

But I know not what, or when,

I can only wait until it's o'er

For I am only ten.
