One more day,
Is my request,
To laugh and talk and cry
At life and all its wonders,
Discussed
By you and I.
One more hour,
I would accept,
If life could happen twice,
To share a cup of tea or three,
Some biscuits
And advice.
One more minute,
I would take,
To hug and hold you tight
Knowing that, inevitably,
You’d be too soon gone,
Travelling through the night.
One more second,
For a smile
To light your lovely face.
Just one more,
Then I’d let you go
Back to your life of grace.
But every day in mind
You are
Just a thought away,
Remembered always,
Lovingly,
From birth until all days.
