Just One Day

I wonder if there's ever been

A day without a death

A day when no one dug a grave

Or took their final breath

When no one had to say goodbye

To a loved one who had passed

Just one day when no one died

A day that wasn't their last

A day when all the whole wide world

Has said no sad farewell

No one leaving this world behind

For Heaven or for Hell

No wars to take a child away

With a mother left in tears

No murders, wrecks or suicides

No cancerous dying fears

Just one day is all I ask

A day when no one dies

A day when no one feels the pain

That comes with those goodbyes

Empires without frontiers
War without tears
It's all very nice
very nice
Maybe in the next world

A nice thought...If only it were true....If such a day did occur...it should be declared an international holiday so that we can all celebrate its importance
