[based on IF ONLY by Christina M. Riggs] Here I sit in my cell Plain white, stone cold walls All alone with my thoughts, memories And my regrets to keep me company WISHING ONLY IF . . Dreaming of holding my babies Hearing their tiny voices and laughter Watching them grow up Dreaming I could see and touch My Mom without the glass IF ONLY . . IF ONLY . . I HAD REACHED OUT! Dreaming of feeling wet grass on bare feet The sun on my face, wind in my hair Watching the stars Feeling peace, hope, happiness, and belonging IF ONLY . . . I D REACHED OUT! Reality, I m alone on DEATH ROW With no sense of hope, peace, or happiness Day in, day out, I relive my failures, regrets And that terrible night, knowing Im To blame for losing my babies Realizing that what I dream of most Could have been reality for me Could have been reality for them IF ONLY . . . I D REACHED OUT! Here I sit in my cell Plain white, stone cold walls All alone with my thoughts, memories And my regrets to keep me company WISHING ONLY IF . . I D REACHED OUT!
