At The Kitchen Table

I wish for many things

but today looking through hurting eyes

I only wish them solace and comfort

from the crying for years

that dragged you down

from the pain that caused

the rain to pour out miseries

and regrets....

you were the first on a prayer list

that I have had for a long time

and for a long time

I only wished a better life for you

those prayers are still being said..

still being said.

for you.
