Notes About The Poem

Just One More Day

Just One More Day 
We Didn’t Say Goodbye


Everything within reach of my hands
But I still could not reach your life strands

To be able to warm up your heart and console
It was out of my control

Tears have been shed to the core
I'll weep no more

If I had one wish to make
It would be to see you when I wake

If I could see you one more time
Flowers would bloom and the winds chime

I'd reach for the heaven’s blue
And hold you tight and say I love you

To say,”It’s going to be alright”
And the future is in your sight”

You left us on a silver angels wing
To sing in the sunshine of spring

Cannot believe you are gone and so much time has gone by
I never even got the chance to say goodbye

Your death taught me how to cherish those whom I hold so dear, 
To show others how much I care and need them near
