Days like today, I wish I could hear your voice so I could hear that you are proud of me.
Days like today, I wish I could hear your laughter so I could know that you are happy.
Days like today, I wish I could feel your warmth so I know that you are near.
Days like yesterday, I wish I had said something different so that maybe something would be different.
Days like yesterday, I wish I had done something different so that maybe I could know it wasn’t my fault.
Days like yesterday, I wish I could remember your words so it wouldn’t be so painful
Days like tomorrow, I know that I will be okay so that I can move forward.
Days like tomorrow, I know that you will always be next to me so that I know I will be okay.
Days like tomorrow, I know that you are checking my path so that I might anticipate the next step.

Excellent work. I like the way that you mixed the sense of loss and regret with words of hope for tomorrow. Never say die!
