Just One More Day

Just One More Day Just one more day, now, for you see, I was scarcely four years when you suddenly left me. One more day back then, or even one week Would mean very little since my memory's weak. I barely remember that morning I saw Mommy dragging your body down our long hall. And everyone crying and expecting me to, But how could I really! I didn't know you! I was the girl whose daddy had died. But when I cried tears, with each drop I lied. Just one more day, with both of us grown. So I could discover whence my seed was sown. Just one more day, to dance my first dance To teach me to drive, to preach of romance. Please one more day to show you I've tried To become a grown woman that might give a dad pride. Mom tried her best, but I long to know you Just one more day, daddy, please, for us two. My daughters have had the best father on earth But I wonder if I did at the time of my birth. Just one more day, daddy, I can't wait to meet The man who gave me this smile, these feet. You've rested in heaven for 50 years now Share just one day, you can do It somehow. That this girl's heart still breaks is alarming But she'll wait just one more day to meet her Prince Charming. And if one more day takes longer than thought, We'll still get the time for which I have fought. Because when my time comes to part from this place, I look forward to once again seeing your face. Just one more day in the blink of an eye My daddy and me, at the Ball in the sky. 12/6/2015
