One more

“Just one more, and that is all I need”

This heartbreaking plea is common indeed-

One more chance to set things right

One more attempt to prove your might

Just one opportunity to apologize

For hurtful deeds you were too late to realize

One last try before you give up for certain

One last act before life draws the curtain

One more lingering moment before bidding adieu

One more embrace to remember and carry you through..

 

Ah the tantalizing prospects evoked by this phrase!

Life can transform in a moment, it says

The difference between sorrow and happiness

Might lie in that one extra moment missed!
