I wish
that you had shown me
that I was royalty
I wish
you had adorned me with
that glorious robe of many colors
I wish
that you had told me
that someday the king’s throne
would be my own
I wish
that frequently
you didn’t have to leave
and I go the journey all alone
I wish
That I could say
within me that
here is a fine man
that you have grown.
