THINGS YOU WANTED TO SAY
BUT COULD NEVER FIND THE WORDS

I wish back to better times
I think back to our childhood days
throwing a football on the beach
never once thinking those days would end
looking up into the night sky
the stars slide into their alloted places

As do we in this game of life
I sometimes wish
Reincarnation is a truth
and that we have lived our lives
of good fortune
and bad
that we live each time
with a reason
how else could we
you
anyone
explain the loss of a life
so wanting to live

my son runs and jumps
he dances and he plays
as you did once

It makes me think of the frailty
of the human soul
it makes me wish I had all the money in the world
just so I could see you
just so I could make things right

so far away I wish each and every night
that I could return home
to surprise you
to see you smile
my dreams I feel
do make me feel the pangs of depression
as that day I fear shall not come

shall not come I fear in time
to mean that much
to you
for what good is the football
when you can not throw it
for me to catch
upon that golden sand
with the heat of the Australian sun
burning the skin

creating a moment
that will last as long as I do
I have selfish moments
as do all people
we are only human after all

I wish sometimes that I shall die before you
so I would never feel
the bitter taste of your passing
selfish I know

I am only human after all

So many memories rush through my mind
so mixed a storm within itself
I fear can never separate that which was
to that which my childhood mind had twisted into being

we all do it
I am no better than the man standing next to me
when it comes time for judgement day
we have our secrets
we have our scars
in the end we have just ourselves

for death is a one person event
everyone else is just a spectator
left behind to remember

until their time too does come

death is the ultimate fear for most
I always thought those that knew their time were fortunate
now I fear that death is just that
whether you know when your time has come
or your step outside your home unknowing for the last
time

death is just that
you never know
even with an X marking the calendar
you never truly know

maybe thats the beauty of life
maybe that is its curse

but those days on the beach shall never be lost
for as long as either of us live

the sand still hot underfoot
the seagulls screaming into the sky
the ocean crashing upon the shore

always remembered
until our dying days

We are only human after all

Thanks hardcorexflirt, you should look back a few pages, there are quite a few long poems from me in here.

As always voice2bheard, thank you very much for reading and responding.
