7 Days

And as the plane

grows smaller in the sky

I remember the past week

and I begin to cry

While deep in my heart

I hear a voice say

"Don't cry Bill,

you will be together someday."

Seven days in heaven

have passed me by

Now I just have memories

and this place to cry

Looking out on the runway,

the smallest man alive

If the past week was living

please don't let me die
