A poem I wrote to my children.
I lay here thinking of you
As I do every night,
Holding back the tears,
Sure is a fight.

If I could have one wish,
It would be one more day.
With you in my arms,
There’s so much I have to say.

One more day,
Would be a dream come true.
Just one more day,
To be with you.

I gave you life,
And now I can’t see your face.
I feel like a failure,
Such a disgrace.

I push away my feelings,
Force the pain away,
And just pray for your happiness,
Every single day.

God promises He’ll watch you.
He’ll take good care of you I know,
I leave your lives in His hands,
He’ll help you grow.

Even as I say this,
I’m hurting so bad, I say.
and oh what I would give,
For just one more day.
