If I had twenty four hours to live
I would make sure to spend time with my kids
I'd show them the best love there is
for I will not be here no more to give
This undying love I have for my kids
I'd sit on the couch and cry
how fast is this day gonna go by
I watch my life flash before my eyes
I dont have enough time to tell everyone bye
I grab my husband by the hand
and tell him he is the most wonderful man
as I look deeper in his eyes
I relieze I will soon have to say good bye
I'd thank my Mom and Dad
for giving me the wonderful life I had
for giving me a chance in this world
without them I wouldn't have my boy and girl
Mom and Dad just because I leave today
doesn't mean my love for you will fade away
I'd tell my sisters
softly as I wisper
thank you for being there
and showing me that you care
live your life to the fulliest
please dont be foolish
I'd tell my brother
I couldnt replace him with another
he really is a smart kid
I loved all the things he did
he will always be in my heart
even though we'll be so far apart
I lie with my kids in bed
and my husband resting at my head
I began to see a bright light
should I even try to put up a fight
I look at my lovely family one last time
It hurts so bad cause there begining to cry
This day really did go by fast
but my memory's will forever last
It's almost my time to go
I just want everyone to know
You all mean the world to me
believe me I am leaving this world peacefully
I lean over and give my kids a kiss
they're two wonderful people I'll always miss
I wrap my arms around them tight
hoping and praying to make it through the night
I look to the man I love
and tell him I am ready for the heavens above
I dont want him to see me like this
but it's something I cant resist
I'm glad to have spent this much time with you
but theres nothing left for me to do
except tell you I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
As I take my last breath
I feel someone pounding on my chest
I hope they know there's no possible way
because today was my LAST DAY

Very touching and sad. The thoughts to have only one day left with the people we love most, is very painful.
Your poem is very well written and show lots of emotions.
I wish you good luck in the contest and in everything you do!
