M's Poetry
If I Had A Day With You
*I wrote this for my ex's funeral...I am giving one of the eulogies Mon:(....please tell me what you think.
If I had a day with you and you only
I would enjoy the simple things
the wonders that bring joy to your spirit and heart
the things that in the end when time steals the rest away
are the only things we remember
I would paddle across a lake and read poetry to you
and watch you fall asleep, never looking at my watch
If I had one day with you and you only
I would admire every line on your face
rub my fingers through your hair
and capture that smile and remember your grace
of all the things I remember you made me feel safe and secure
at rest but energetic , I just wonder
where is all the things we think and feel but don't say?
What do you remember? Today let's say them to him.
Finally the things I never told you...
the things I hope you always knew
that a small part of me will love you always
forging the bad times and preserving the good
I would like to tell you I would have done it differently
that if I had one more day I would do everything right
but I know that not to be true....
I would make all the same blunders and mistakes
and so would have you...that is except one
I won't never say goodbye because in each of our hearts
you do live in that special place that so long ago you warmed.
