One Day ?

Sunday at the church, the sermons dig deep into my heart Philippians 1:21 “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain” When you are ready to die, Speak up all the burdens you bear, Let the weight of silence break, And release the thoughts that ensnare. When you are ready to die, Do what sets your spirit free, Dance in the light of fleeting moments, Embrace the wild, the untamed sea. When you are ready to die, Fear loses its grip, its hold, You no longer worry about losing, For in letting go, you become bold. When you are ready to die, You give up treasures, even the rare, Your most precious jewelry, No longer a chain, but a breath of air. When you are ready to die, Leave behind the weight of the past, Focus on today’s gentle whispers, In each heartbeat, find peace at last. But I AM not ready to die! My body is giving up, but my mind refuses. If I have one wish to make, I would ask for gold or a diamond, What’s the use of all these anyway? Please at least one day, just one day, To stay so my baby won't cry. But death is calling, I cannot escape, Before I close my eyes, let me wish For another day!
