One Day

And if we had one day left to live,
would we play our song in the morning,
open the front door,
and look inside the house?
Or would we drive to town
and revisit the grocer's,
the barber, the shopping mall?
We wouldn't mention tomorrow,
nor seek for the weather ahead.
The sun, the rain, the flowers,
would fill a memory bag,
together with the books,
the letters and the pictures.

If we had one day left to live,
why not turn it into the night,
make sure we know what love is,
and kiss each other goodbye?
