One Day Alive

As children we never considered, never thought of anything, we took for granted, without a care but we knew you were there waiting' for us five when you were alive.

At the end of the telephone, at home, nothing mattered, we were without a worry because we knew you were there to take our fear' from us five when you were alive.

Everyday washing and ironing our clothes but you still had time' for us five when you were alive. 

Struggling and going without to provide everything but you still had more to give' to us five when you were alive.

The strength you had through everyday although we broke your heart, each of us in our own way but you still had love' for us five when you were alive.

The care given and pain taken, one encapsulated, one in love, our broken hearts, your heart broke' for us five when you were alive.

We thought you would be here forever, life was eternal when we were young 

We would move heaven to earth for one more day with you but we have to accept it, your gone and we will miss you until our end' all of us five while we are still alive.
