She died Wednesday morning, and I regret much about the relationship between her and I. I regret not remembering much about her. I only saw her maybe two times in my life. Even though I don't remember much, I miss her and I loved her. She was family.. In another month I would have been visiting her, but she didn't last long enough. sad
"Goodbye, Aunt Mae"
She walked off the porch,
and into the scorching torch.
With an oxygen tank at hand,
rolling along beside her through the sand.
Sat upon our four wheeler,
as if it was a miracle healer.
Zoomed along the desert,
with freedom's wings as her pleasure.
Thinking about back then,
death was still farther around the bend.
Even though I saw death with my own eyes,
I never thought that she would die,
before I could meet her with wiser eyes.
There's so much I regret,
but the time we shared I'll never forget.
It's time to let her spirit rise,
with my one last goodbye,
as the sunrise begins the new day.
Auntie Mae, have fun up there with grandpa;
keep him out of trouble as you know he can do.
We'll miss you Aunt Mae,
for this is true,
but this will be my last tear drop for you.
