One More Day
I wish,
I had one more day,
To say the things I feel.
One more day
To tell the truth,
One more hug,
One more smile,
One more “I love you.”
The years have gone by so quickly
But your leaving seems like a sunset ago.
So much left unsaid.
I’ve rehearsed what I would say
And wondered
If you’ve heard me,
Or read my thoughts
In your eternal rest.
Just one more day,
One more day.
About
Many of my friends say that I’m a “Child of the Sixties” and I must agree.
Over the years I have gone from a “Goldwater Republican” too a “Robert Kennedy Democrat” and find no contradiction in that switch.
As a distant relative to Judge Learned Billings Hand, often called the “First Free Speech Judge”, I come by “Liberalism” honestly and naturally.
Growing up I always wanted to be a writer, no wonder I enjoyed the Walton’s when it was a hit TV show, and blame that “bug” on Mr. Backus (11 grade English) and the Warren Harding publication “The Cauldron.”
Born in England of an English “Mum” and a “Yank” Dad has given me a more “Continental” outlook on the social and political aspects of life, plus throw in Viet Nam Era Vet, Kent State University student May 4th, 1970; Businessman; First openly gay male to run for public office in Warren Ohio; An elected John Kerry Alternate-Delegate to the 2004 DNC; In a committed life partnership for 20 years and you have the internals of what makes this “Baby Boomer” tick.
“If you don’t stand for something, then you’ll fall for nothing.”
I now invite you all to read my thoughts, touch my soul and let me bare my flesh, naked in the light of words.
