I looked at death, my old friend, My companion and guide to the end.   A glare he passed, a query to send—   "What if, one more day, your life I extend?" "What could you achieve, With the boon you receive?   Or would you perceive it a curse—   One more day to wander the earth?"   What could I do?   With time so few.   Whom would I run to?   Whose presence would ring true?   Or shall I not go?   Run, hide—silhouette in shadow?   Then whose darkness would I reside in,   Who would turn the death's tide in?   You tell me to see,   To live, love, and like a bird—flee.   In 24 hours—"What could anyone ever be!?" A lie, to those who truly see.   My friend, listen to what I say.   No closure could be found in one day.   Don’t mock my answer—this is my way.   Forget hours, even 24 years wouldn’t be enough to  Seize The Day!

One More Day to Live
I looked at death, my old friend, My companion and guide to the end.   A glare he passed, a query to send—   "What if, one more day, your life I extend?" "What could you achieve, With the boon you receive?   Or would you perceive it a curse—   One more day to wander the earth?"   What could I do?   With time so few.   Whom would I run to?   Whose presence would ring true?   Or shall I not go?   Run, hide—silhouette in shadow?   Then whose darkness would I reside in,   Who would turn the death's tide in?   You tell me to see,   To live, love, and like a bird—flee.   In 24 hours—"What could anyone ever be!?" A lie, to those who truly see.   My friend, listen to what I say.   No closure could be found in one day.   Don’t mock my answer—this is my way.   Forget hours, even 24 years wouldn’t be enough to  Seize The Day!
What if we get to live one more day Whom would you call What would you say?
