WISH I COULD

Wish I could change places with you

and alleviate your pain for a day or two.

Wish I could give you a pain free day.

For you this is what I often pray.

Wish I could dry your each and every tear.

To me you are special and very dear.

Wish I could have anything I choose.

It would be for you never to have the blues.

Wish I could lighten your heavy load

as you travel down life’s difficult road.

These things I cannot do. Instead I send love.

One thing you can never have too much of.

I do know a way to brighten your day

and chase your dreary cares away.

I can offer you a big dose of hope

to help with your heavy cross cope.

I need only to remind you God loves you and really does care.

He will never give you more than you can bear.

I do the only thing I know how to do.

And that is to pray often just for you.
