I wanted you to hold on to tomorrow,
Not let your life slip by.
I wanted to tell you how much you'd be missed
And plead with you not to die.

Not to give in the that terrible disease
That takes away the ones we love,
But unfortunately I didn't say a word
Then too soon you were called up above.

It doesn't seem fair to me somehow,
For one such as you to go.
But our destiny is in the hands of God;
Why we cease to exist only he can know.

I wanted to bring a smile to your face
And see the sparkle in your eyes grow bright,
Now I've waited too long to say these things
In the poem I didn't write.
