All the things I could have done

I wish I knew how to love

I would have shown you

that you are the precious ever in my life 

I wish I knew how to care

I would have kept you company

When you felt lonely

I wish I knew how to give

I would have kept you warm

When you were cold

I wish I were a happy child

I would have shared with you all my joy

And not a little sorrow

I wish i were a strong woman

I would have helped you reach all your dreams

like you once did mine
