One More I Love You

One more I love you
  Is that too much to ask?

Time passes, and we get so busy
 work and career, home and hearth
 life and death, children and birth,
sudddenly, it all slips away
 leaving these last few moments left to pray;

Pray for the future, be grateful of the past
 satisfied our love has last.

Too soon pass the days
 suddenly they're years,
 blessed and cursed
with unexpected sadness and all its tears
 plagued by the threats of our greatest fears;

we said we'd grow old together
 moments for just you and me;

Time out raced us
 rushing you to the end
 how could that have happened
 in the perplexties of life's bends
and now all I ask for
 is one more I love you.

Saying, "I love you," should cross our lips without a question, and for no reason other than because we do. A very nice reminder, DM.
