i wish for you

I wish for You
Grace
I wish for You
Peace
I wish for You
Kindness and sympathy
Softness, rhythm, warmth

I want these things for You
Because I seek them for myself
And I believe if I can get them
For You
I can find them
For me

I wish strong embraces for You
To surrender to
I wish eternal shoulders for You
To lean on
I wish compassionate expressions for You
To tell secrets to
I wish soft, warm hands for You
To feel resting on Your arm
I wish gentle kisses for You
I wish steaming mugs of hot cocoa with little marshmallows for You

I wish these things for You
And I wish them for myself
As I wish them for
The bruised and broken
The lost and lonely
And for those who have merely forgotten
I’m bursting with wishes of these things for all of us
