One More Word

There’s always one more tear to cry,
one more cliff to scale,
one more gift to buy,
one more test to fail.

There’s always one more friend to make,
one more sight to see,
one more step to take,
one more ghost to flee.

There’s always one more hug to give,
one more note to sing,
one more day to live,
one more stone to sling.

There’s always one more heart to heal,
one more war to fight,
always one more cent to steal,
one more word to write.
