5 More Minutes

Did a lover ever die And then became a blue star in the sky, All From a tragedy That only God could know or see. One moment they are here, then gone Like the awakening dawn, If only to spend five more minutes with you Even in the dew. Just to hold your hand one more time I would then write you a beautiful rhyme, Then we again in the eyes of God would be one For now and then forever on. If once again we could only touch Again you would be my partner, my crutch, If only once again I could hold you hand Then I know it wouldn't be as hard to stand. When the clouds come and cover up the star Again I will remember the sadness and the scar, Five more minutes wouldn't be never But, now the sky is unfolding and is forever. Randy L. McClave
