in depth look at poem: This is a poem that I wrote for my sister, Becki, when I heard that she was having complications with her pregnancy. I was really worried and wish I could have been there to help her.


        I wish

        You are on my mind
        I know you're in pain.
        You are on my mind
        I wish I could be there.

        You are in my thoughts
        I wish I could be with you.
        You are in my thoughts
        I want to share your pain.

        You are on my mind
        I feel your agony.
        You are on my mind
        I wish you could feel my love.

        You are in my thoughts
        I want to show you my love.
        You are in my thoughts
        I want to see you.
