I Ask And Ask For More Time to Love You Here On Earth
I will live long enough to see your 90th birthday.
I am close to being 100 years old, I know.
I know that we are 13 years apart too.
I don’t want to think about how much older I am than you.
I have always focused on wanting to wake up one more day so I can see you;
one more day of seeing your fair features and feeling the warmth of your arms and chest.
I ask and ask for more time to love you here on Earth.
I am aware that you may not want to live any longer when I leave this world.
I tell you to please continue to live for our son and his children but you tell me that you can’t without me.
I will live for as long as I can for you. I don’t want to stop feeling this intense love for you;
this feeling transcends my continuing hope to get out of bed and see the sun rise or the rain fall, standing outside on the grass.
