One More Day

The things I can’t remember The things I forgot to say Will haunt me forever Tomorrow and today All my yesterdays For just one more day The things I can’t remember The things I forgot to say Will haunt me forever Tomorrow and today If I could only touch you In that old familiar way I’d give all my tomorrows For just one yesterday Just give me one more day Oh Lord I do thee pray I’ll make it all up to you When I meet you on the way The path that I have chosen Is sure to set me free Just give me one more tomorrow So I can live today

Hello Stephen, I love this and the effect it had on my mind when reading. Everyday I wish The Lord could give me that one more day. I love this and how you took it and gave in your tomorrows for another sweet yesterday, in hope the feeling and memories will last... thank you for stopping by.. Luv ~LINDA

Thanks Linda, Always good to hear from you and read your comments. We are all looking for that extra day or one more chance. I wish I could get it right but I am human just like everyone else. All we have is memories. ~Kilmer

Beautiful message. I am sure many can relate. I hope you find comfort and more inspiration. You're an excellent writer. I must apologize. I've been out this week on a family trip. But I just wanted to stop by to read something of yours. Great one yet again mister Kilmer. Always, Laura
