One More Day with Mom

I wish for nothing more
Than just one more day,
For I would give it all,
Just to hear her say.

It’s funny how
In life it seems
You take for granted
The most important things.

To feel her close,
And be safe again,
Safe from my own self,
Back with my best friend.

Yes, she was the best,
And at other times the only,
My Friend, you left me here,
And now my heart is lonely.

If you could just come back,
If only for one day,
I’d make sure that I’d listen
To all you had to say.
