One Final Breath

I just wanted to say thank you

for teaching me the things

I couldn't have learned without you

and I know that you're watching over me

so tell me

did I turn out to be everything that you hoped I'd be

I just wish I had a second chance to say

that I love you

'cause I didn't

before you passed away

I hope you know how many lives you touched

your memory lives in all of us

I miss you so much

One final breath

between you and I one final test

when I looked into your eyes

this is what you left

all I am inside

with one final breath

you gave me life

Just the other night

you visited me in a dream

you looked as healthy as ever

the best I've ever seen

you stood there in the light

surrounded by a sea of green

it was a beautiful place

where only love could breathe

then you took me by the hand

and told me silently that objects in the mirror may be closer than they seem

and I thanked you with a smile

for reminding me

you didn't have to speak

'cause I heard every word

your message was clear and you can be rest assured

that I'll teach all the rest the best of all that I've learned

your death gave life to me

and I've turned into the best person that I can be

court's adjourned

One final breath

between you and I one final test

when I looked into your eyes

this is what you left

all I am inside

with one final breath

you gave me life

Now I live my life for you

To the greatest teacher I've ever known

from beyond you showed me that I'll never be alone

and I've grown beyond my years

these tears are here to show you that I've conquered the fear

let us not grieve over your death

but celebrate your life

and let you rest

a life with no regrets

just love and happiness

you taught us this and now bliss manifests

One final breath

between you and I one final test

when I looked into your eyes

this is what you left

all I am inside

with one final breath

you gave me life
