Love, Your Son
By Rich Reith
Mom, if I could just live one more day,
I would let you know how much you're loved.
You would feel me try in every way
To show what I cannot from above.
Dad, if I could live just one more day
I'd show you how your son had grown.
My wife and child all of life's bouquet,
Determination in me you'd never known
My child, if I could live just one more day
I'd enfold you tight deep in my arms,
I'd talk and kiss, hug and play
Until God returned me safely home
My darling wife, had I one more day,
It would be too little time
To say all the things I need to say,
Of how blessed I've been that you are mine.
But remember, we will have endless days,
Sweetheart, Baby, Mom and Dad,
To cling together and sing Gods praise.
So please don't cry, don't be sad
Our days apart have just begun.
I know it's like infinity to you,
For you number your time from sun to sun,
From evening moon to morning dew
They shall pass, these mortal days,
And we shall be reunited here.
Until then I'll not be far away,
My love will be there to dry each tear.
