If I Had Only One Day To Live

Oh what a dreadful day would it be, to know that i had only one day to live. What will i do? i think, just one day to say and do, just one day to ask and forgive. Would i go to the ones i hurt..? for love and forgiveness. It would lighten my burden to death, as going to hell is not my business. Or would i be with the ones i love...? to gather all their love in my heart. Yes! i'll gather all the memories, but wait.....won't it be difficult for me to depart? Will i spend time in helping the needy...? as my whole life i wanted to, and to give them all that i can, at least to listen a last "thankyou" Will i dance in the rain for the last time? will i swing just for the last time? will i dance on my favorite song at least once? or will i eat my favorite chocolate the last time? Will i meet my friends who made my world a better place? or meet my lovely teachers who gave my career a fine base? Will i sleep on my mothers lap for the last time? or fight with my sister for all that was mine? Will i fight with my dad for a ride on his bike? or would i eat all that i like? Will i cuddle with my puppy for last time sake or meet my collegues to have all the fun we used to make Will i tell my husband how much i love him? or tell him that my heart was governed by his whim. (pause for a while) No, instead i would pray, pray to god yet for another day. Dear lord spare my life a day more, there are things that i still need to explore.
