One Last Thing To Say

If I had just one breath Just one more to take Before I find myself At the golden gate If Just one poem was left Burried deep within my soul Trying to express my heart This my last and final goal I'd tell my Mother this, Thank you for your love Since I wont grow old on earth I hope I'm just like you above I'd tell my father this Please be good to her And in case you didn't know Your daughters love is pure To the little sister I hold so very dear Keep your dreams at hand For they're so very near To the oldest one To whome I've kept so high I've always seen your beauty It's on the in and outside The one who has brought, So much knowledge to my life If it wasn't for you, Nanny I would still have pain and strife To the one I love Forever mine you'll be But please carry on my dear I just want you to be happy As I drift away on my last breath Learn from my love My joy, you can attest My life, it may be short Here, in this place But don't worry about that My soul is now with grace

This is sad in a reflective way. I sometimes wonder when someone dies if I could have done better by them. Sometimes I wish I could have talked with them just once more. Nice write.
