From way back in the day: Auntie Diane on the left & my mother on the right.
I wrote this for my cousins who lost their mother a few days ago. And for my uncle who lost his partner in life, his wife.
Angel on the Other Side
They say you’re on the other side.
Where is that? A place so far away.
A place I can’t see.
If you’re on the other side,
why is it that when I close my eyes,
I’m met with memories so vivid and real.
I can smell your skin and hear your laugh.
This other side, it just can’t be.
These memories are like roads
Twisting and turning
They are fast and slow
I fear I am lost.
No matter how hard I try,
I just can’t find the other side.
Suddenly you appear, hand on my chest.
And then you say:
Relax my love. I’m resting in your heart.
Beating with you and for you.
I’ll be your music and we’ll travel on together.
Love always, your angel on the other side.
