I knew you were tired
I knew you were sick
But still what I’d give
For just one more day.
Cancer sucks.
For just one more day
To see your sweet smile,
Your face …
To hear you giggle,
Or whole heartedly laugh.
That laugh.
For just one more day
To hold your hand,
To have our conversations
About everything,
Or nothing at all.
Those memories.
For just one more day
A ride in the car
Listen to Stern
Laugh … just laugh …
And no longer cry.
For just one more day
To take away the sickness
For you to be healthy
And happy … like the
Good old days.
Memories for a lifetime.
For just one more day
And then another …
… and another
I’m selfish, you see
I wasn’t ready
To let you leave.
I need you.
I had to be strong
For you
My kids
My husband … Myself.
I wasn’t ready.
I told you it was okay.
For just one more day
I want you to be strong
Full of life … love
Most of all … compassion
Just one more day.
For just one more day, Mommy
I wasn’t ready,
but I knew you were.
I’m sorry I lied.
Bad liar.
I lied to my mother,
but I’m sure she knew
I lied, then I watched
As I saw her wings …
They grew.
For just one more day
To make sure
You knew
How very much
We all loved you.
I know you knew.
Just an excuse …
I’m selfish.
I’d give anything …
For just one more day.
I’m, so so sorry Steph. I feel you ❤💙
