My Aunt Jean

Poem by: Joan C. Johnson

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.

I just keep wishing you were still here.

I will hold all the memories deep in my heart.

Through these memories we’ll never part.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.

I just keep wishing this pain would disappear.

I didn’t get the chance to say my last goodbye.

I just didn’t think you could ever die.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.

All of your love I will always hold near.

In my heart and my mind I will never be alone.

When my time comes……

I will meet you in heaven!

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!
