Thank you so much to everyone at the M.O.D and the RAF and to all who have kindly supported my writing.

I would not wish it

July 5, 2026

I would not wish it,
I would not wish it upon you,
I would not wish for you to be so blue,
because I would wish to colour you happy,
in any way that I can do,
and I hate to see,
I hate to see the sadness in you,
because I love you,
but you,
you seem to have a hard time loving you,
and I empathise and I wish for you to be happy,
and I will try to do what I can do,
and I would not wish,
I would not wish it upon you,
and I see it in your eyes.
even though you try to disguise it you cannot hide it,
and I can clearly see the sadness in you,
and what are we to do,
and what would you like to do,
for I will try to arrange an outing,
and I will try to bring a smile to your face,
for what is better to enlighten the mood than good company,
travel and a joke or two,
and we can go anywhere,
and I will do anything to ease your cares,
and I will do anything to ease your despair,
for I wish to send it so far away from here,
for in my company,
life is better spent with friends I have found,
and whenever you are feeling down,
do not hesitate to call, for I will be around,
because I could erase the sadness,
erase the sadness from a clown,
and so, as we sit, why don't we plan,
because fun can erase the darkness from humanity,
if you can take time out away from sadness if you can,
and fun can take your mind off the sadness,
and fun can take your mind off the world’s madness,
and I would not wish you to be unhappy eternally,
because life can be better,
life can be much better,
if we take a little time and we unwind,
and we have some peace,
and some lightness of mind,
so, together whatever the weather,
let us be exploratory,
and let us explore the comedy of life,
and let us erase the sadness in you,
as fast as we can,
and bring the light.
