"More Time"
By: Sharolett Watson
 

Please give me more time to enjoy you.
More time to get to know the inner you.
More time to know you, not just what I thought I knew.
Please give me more time to be with you, to make memories new that won't dissolve like the morning dew.
Please give me more time so I can thank you for just being you.
More time to love you regardless of the situations we have been through.
Please give me more time so I can learn from you,
The things I should and shouldn't do.
Please give me more time to touch and hold you,
To see you smile, hear you laugh, feel your love that came from above.
More time to talk and walk with you.
To hear your voice, not just in my head.
Now knowing that I should of made more time, everyday.
Because we don't know If
We will have more time...
