Tear stain cheeks
from eyes that leak
Of news today
my heart it weighs

In two weeks time
My aunt will climb
The steps to heaven
so high above

She lives so far away from meΒ Β 
To her I want to go and see
to hold her tight
when comes the light

I know she wouldn't want me sad
but the pain, it hurts so bad
My dear Aunt Bertha, please take with you
All my love, forever new

Just found out today that my dear aunt Bertha only has about 2 weeks left here on earth. I was working on a book of poems and she wanted to be the first one to get one. She was so proud of me. I will put her picture on my profile page . Its her with me in fire dog costume sitting on her knee
