Tailwind

I wish I could control the wind,

for I would calm the seas

And we could go forth boldly,

together: you and me.

I wish that I could help you.

I wish that I could fill your sails.

I wish you didn't have to struggle.

I wish that I could ease your ails.

But though I wish

I know I can't.

I can't control the waves

and I cannot bend the winds.

I cannot change your fate

or save you from chagrin.

But I can sit beside you

and I can hold your hand.

And we can be lost together

as we drift towards unknown lands.
