Within A Day

I already miss you so much

Within a day you were here then gone

Tried as you may you held on strong

The life you lived was powerful and long

We knew this time was coming all along

For many years you surprised us all with the way you defied the odds

They gave you a week within a day you were gone

I've known you my whole life an today yours ended

As the decades came and went all your years were well spent

Tho I couldn't say goodbye there were three words I wanted to say before you life slipped away

I love you and think about you everyday

The called May 14th and gave you seven days

Within one you were here and gone
