I Wish I Could Have Been There


I wish I could have been there when Jesus was born, just to witness the miracle. I wonder could I bear to see Him on the cross that fateful day?

I wish I could have been there when the Founding Fathers signed The Declaration Of Independence and then when they signed The Constitution. We take those things for granted.

I wish I could have been there with Neil Armstrong when he first set foot on the moon. What a moment that must have been.

I wish I could have been there when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have A Dream" speech. Powerful words from a great man.

I wish I could have been there with Bill Gates when he met with IBM. I wonder if the stories were true and he really sold them a program he didn't have yet?

I wish I could have been there to see Queen perform in their heyday and then to attend one of Freddie's parties. What fun that must have been.

I wish I could have been there when Dave Arneson led his first players on a role playing adventure beneath Castle Blackmoor, long before he called Gary Gygax about this game.

I wish I could have been there when Andrew Jackson shut down the big bank. It took guts to do that and years for the banks to come back from that in America.

I wish I could have been there in Roswell, New Mexico to see what really happened the day the UFO crashed. I'd love to know if it was real or not.

I wish I could have been there to see how the pyramids and the sphinx were really built. Their true origin remains a mystery to me.

I wish I could have been there to talk with philosophers Socrates and Plato about the world and the nature or existence itself.

I wish I could have been there to talk to J.R.R. Tolkien when he released Lord Of The Rings. Middle Earth was so beautiful, and yet there was so much he didn't write on the subject.

I wish I could have been there to see if Atlantis, Lemuria and Mu really existed. If so, were they as great as legend says they were?

So many places I wish I could have been all around the world when truly amazing things happened, but there's one more thing I wish...

I wish I could have been there when my father arrived on the other side to tell him and my sister I will see them again one day.
