I wish...

When I hear of the cricket matches
On those Sunday mornings

I wish I could be there.


When I hear of the martini sessions
On those top-shelf Tuesdays

I wish I could be there.


When I hear of cramming for finals
On those nights in the FAC

I wish I could be there.


When my friends are angry at me
On those issues of yesteryear

I wish I could be there.


When my brothers miss me so much
And I miss them so much more

I wish I could be there.


When my heart aches to think
Of those memories good and bad

I wish I could be there.


When I call and hear the voices
Of those who helped me find myself

I wish I could be there.


When I don't miss my second home
When I'd rather be all alone

I...still wish I could be there.

You write well. Well enough to call yourself a writer.
