Forever for a Day

by Elizabeth Costello

How long is forever?
That, no one can know.
They say it takes forever
For one to learn and grow.
Forever is forever-
I don't know how long that will be-
But I can say forever
Is the time you spent with me.
For though it was but one moment
That was snatched out of one day
My heart will always be with you
And that is where it will stay.
That moment will last forever
And beyond infinity
It left its mark upon my soul
And always is with me.
Your life has deeply touched mine,
So although here you could not stay
With you was my forever-
Forever, for a day.
