I Wish You Could Have Seen It

Poetry

While you were here with me
You saw the world in a drunken haze
A very beautiful world

Did you see clearly when you were sober?
Maybe you did and it hurt too much
To see what you’d been missing
While your children were growing up

It’s too bad you left so soon
I wish you could have seen it
