One Day Poem by SandySue Burnworth

One day I'll grow up and leave you, she would say.
One day I'll make my own rules, she would declare.
One day I'll have a daughter of my own, she would cry.
One day I'll be a mommy, you'll see, she would proclaim.

One day she grew up and left.
One day she made her own rules.
One day she had a daughter.
One day she became a mommy.

One day her world stopped, her daddy was gone.
One day her heart stilled, she met her best friend.
One day her life was renewed, she had said I do.
One day her spirit soared, she became His own.

One day she will get old, and be ready to go.
One day she will hold her children one last time, and say goodbye.
One day she will close her eyes, and life will leave her.
One day day she will be gone, and we will miss her.
