Just One More Day

(To my Dearest Grandma- April 9 2010)

If we only had a chance to be together
We can get along like there’s no other

Wish we have abundant time to play
So many stories that I have to say

Missing the old days when we lie on the floor
Sat on the couch while we looked at the door

The spray of your perfume reminds me of caress
Comforted me with warmth and relieved my stress

We made houses of sands when we’re at the shore
Can get another day to spend those times even more

I’m longing for your smile and your sweet voice
Remember we sang together though we made a noise

You took me home while I got tears on my eyes
Wiped my pain and gave me a surprise

We could return and live our best days
So I could get a chance to hold your face

Wherever you are, I hope you’ll wait for me
There in heaven, we’re endless and free
