I never got to
Say good bye
To you
Never got to tell you
I loved you
Again
I was on my way
To see you
But you were so far away
On life support
You fought for a long time
Through the pain
"This is terminal"
They said
Incurable
They said
All they could do
Was make you comfortable
As you lie
On your death bed
They buried you
Next to your brother
My grandfather
You spoke great things of him
But we'd never met
But now you're reunited
After twenty years
Of silence
Never did my heart
Cease to hurt
Sense you left us that day
I remember when you passed
Your husband called
He was crying
I still hear it like it was yesterday
"Junie's gone, Ginger"
He said to my mom
We just got on the road to see you
But you were already
Gone
Time passes on
Without you
But for me
Time stands still
When I think of you
Your beauty
Blue eyes
Golden heart
Larger than the sky
Dancing with the angels
In the clouds
Somewhere
I know you're patiently
Waiting
for me to meet you there
