Wish you were here,
to hold my hand and stroll along the beach,
to make me smile and put tears out of reach.

Wish you were here
to pull me up, when I in my sorrow drowning,
to tickle me to laughter, when my heart frowning.

Wish you would sit,
beside me and teach me about the birds and bees,
and would tell me the fantasies of world and seas.

Wish you would sit,
beside me and count the shining stars at night,
Oh! Dear dad why are you out of my life and sight?

Wish you would say,
I love you million times in your chatter,
and to my mistakes would say it does not matter.

Wish you would say,
You are the best daughter and my best friend,
wish all these were true and would never end.

Wish you were here, wish you would sit and wish you would say…
Oh! Dear dad my love to you is growing stronger each day!
