If I Had
If all I had was...
A heartbeat left to live,
would I waste it?
I would watch my son laugh one last time,
I would hold my beloved in one last embrace,
I would reminisce with my family one last time,
But who knows what I would do?
So I live with a smile,
I live with no judgement,
I live with hope.
I hope that time is not cruel,
I hope that time respects me,
I hope that time is my companion.
For my days...
I will try to make them long,
I will try to fill them with moments of joy,
And I will try to fill them with love.
If all I had was...
A heartbeat left to live,
I would live in that moment forever.
