I wrote this when my dad's fight with cancer was nearing an end ..... I found it in some stuff I was sorting through today. Thought I would share since many are going through similar struggles.
One More Day
One season fades to the next, another holiday concludes. Family gathers then disperses. Chattering about the next get together. I, too, anticipate the future but my true fervor lies in tomorrow.
One more day I pray, although I'm worn and my body resists, Lord just grant me one more day.
One more day of gazing over the land. Fond memories of family, friends, and just life, replay in my mind as if it were just yesterday.
One more day, Lord, of siting with friends bartering tales and predictions. Joking and enjoying the company of my companions.
Lord, one more day of holding her hand my bride and best friend, my comfort and strength.
One more day of embracing my daughter. Watching with pride as she and her husband stand together. Growing their family just as I did with mine.
One more day of playing with my grandkids watching them run and dance and laugh. Enjoying their innocence and energy. Lord their mere presence puts a joyful smile in my heart.
Lord, I know you promise me deliverance, freedom from pain and suffering, a new home, a new body, your angels wait for you command but for now God I just ask for one more day.
