ONE MORE DAY

A response poem to Night’s What Would You Say? http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Poet_Night/1114030/

If God would ask me this:

"Why should I give you another day?"
If God would really ask,

Oh, what would I say?

Please give me another day,

My Lord, I want to stay
I want to live with my loved ones,

Please give me another day.

I want to ask that forgiveness

From them whom I hurt so much
Show them the love, the real change

From the bottom of my heart.

I want to be with my precious friend

The one I met as an angel
Tell him the truth inside my heart

Show him I really, really care.

I want to show the whole wide world

The best gifts that I have at hand
Tell them the mystery of life

That given by the Lord our God.

I want to live, I want to live

Another day, please give me Lord
I want to live another day

To feel the beauty of this world.

 

And if it’s time for me to go

I would go on with peace of mind

That I have done in one more day

Those things inside this noble heart.
