Give me one more moment
just to gaze upon your face
to memorize your markings
your soft eyelashes
as you lay peacefully asleep.
Give me one more moment
to remember you in your youth
so full of energy – so delighted
at all the world had to offer.
Give me one more moment
to quietly tell you
how much you’ve meant to me
how much you are loved
and always will be.
There now, it’s done.
Now go along, don’t wait for me
I won’t be long…
Give me one more moment here
in God’s time,
to live the rest of my life
then I’ll be with you again.
