Just One More by pookietoo
Free Verse Poetry Contest contest entry

Sometimes we wish we had
Just one more minute, hour, or day
To spend with loved ones
Who suddenly leave our side.
 
We wish we had gone to one more game
Which our daughter or son played.
We wish we had given our spouse
Just one more kiss or hug "that" day.
 
We wish we had taken
Just one more hour that day
To find the special gift
Our sibling wanted that Christmas Day.
 
We wish we had said "I love you"
Or "I'm sorry" just one more time
To a best friend and neighbor
Before they moved away.
 
We wish we had given our children 
One more kiss or embrace
When they needed comforting words, 
And their eyes filled with tears.
