If I had but a day
left to be here with you
I’d start it out
the same, but different,
Like new...

My first wake of eyes
reveal long goodbyes
I’d study you more
each line of your life, each littlest pore
I’d savor your slumber
and still complain if you snore
Then wake you up gently
with specially kisses, Adore...

If I had but a day
no tomorrow’s to see
I’d want it to feel
just like any and everyday
with you home here with me
I’d still start the coffee
and welcome this morn
I’d watch in such glory
This sun risen born!
The end and this last time never again
I’d admire each ray knowing
God planned it this way!

If I had but a day
I’d look forward to dinner
and serving to all
my lover, my children
Last meal at our table
I’d be smiling in awe!
I’d dress up in lace
prepare for the after
Keep face, same pace
cherish the moments
go no more faster
Spent time on wishes, no longer desired
The end of my ride...
My soul’s final rest.
But not in my spirit,  just in this flesh

If I had but a day
Our children, my life
I’d be listening, all ears
The laughter we shared
then wipe all their tears
A bird, a swan song, singing for me
The news of the day stays; no t.v.
Instead I would make headlines
here Ye’s at my gate
A women, A wife, A mother, in faith
I trusted in Him, in this higher place

Keep them Dear Lord, always, forever remind
Who I was,
for them, those I loved, left behind
O My dove...look how it soars!
My God,
My family,
My Journey,
a door...
