One Borrowed Day

What would you do with one borrowed day If you knew it was over, if there was a way Would you say all the things that you know you should say A day of work or a day of play What would you do with one borrowed day Would you sit and cry, would you fight to stay Tie all the loose ends, waste it away List all of the debts that you should repay What would you do with one borrowed day

Gosh what a question Mike... I guess it depends if it really was going to be my last day - guess I'd spend it with my hubby and son and have my favourite food and lots of chocolate and make sure they promised to publish a book of my funny poems if I don't live long enough to do it myself!:-) hugs jan xx
