If I had a day to live,
24 hours would see a fine mould,
Every moment I shall sieve,
Dismal stories then are told.

I’d thank people for a brighter way,
In every endeavour we’d seen,
I’d be grateful for seeing one more day,
Painting a beauty simply serene.

Family will be diversity looked upon,
From wherever I maybe after this,
Admiring their kindness until dawn,
The tribute one shall never miss.

I’d finish my chores by the last 5 hours,
Bid a farewell to everyone I’d see,
For I’d be a maiden in shrine of flowers,
Governed and noble, by thee.

I’d want to see you for the ending hours,
Be comforted in your love so great,
Fly higher than every church towers’
I’d want you to reach me to Heavens’ gate.

If I had a day to live…
