Arthelia
She went before my eyes
and I didn’t see her wave.
No blown kiss to say goodbye
no last word to save.
I wonder if she heard;
Our praise,
our love
our goodbyes.
We spoke for all that
couldn’t come,
to be by her side.
But then she sent a message,
encased in a single tear.
I touched it gently with my hand,
and knew it came from within.
It said goodbye for now
I’m going to join my man.
but do not fear,
I’ll watch o’er you from above.
And if some day you miss me;
Just tuck me under your arm,
and pretend that I’m near.
My memory lives within your heart,
my spirit within your soul.
