Wish I could make it better <br />A mother tells a crying child, with a scraped up knee that’s bleeding, it’s okay though never mind. <br />Wish I could make it better <br />Says your best friend from your school, when a love has ripped your heart out, and you just feel like a fool <br />Wish I could make it better <br />As you’re given out that grade, at your academic campus, right in front, on your parade <br />Wish I could make it better <br />When your packing up your things, sorry bout the layoffs, it’s what recession brings <br />Wish I could make it better <br />Laying silent in the ward, after having lost that baby, it is the wishes from our lord <br />Wish I could make it better <br />When you’re walking out that door, to another place to live in, cause there’s no love there anymore <br />Wish I could make it better <br />No I can’t afford that phone, when your maintenance doesn’t get there, and your sitting all alone <br />Wish I could make it better <br />Like when family starts to blame, as you bought it on yourself now, cause your reasons were so lame <br />Wish I could make it better <br />When you finally see the light, and you shut out all the problems, and you know that you are right <br />Wish I could make it better <br />For the ones who need to see, that forgiveness is the answer, it comes from you NOT ME! ! ! <br /> <br /> <br />16 May 2011<br /><br />Carmen Cilla Cook<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wish-i-could-make-it-better/
