Today

If I knew that you would die today

If these words would be our last,

I’d tell you what you mean to me

Before you went on your way.

If I knew that you would die today

I would lie down beside you,

And we’d talk of things that brought us joy

Before you went on your way.

If I knew that you would die today

I would hold you closely to me,

And feel your cheek upon my face

Before you went on your way.

If I knew that you would die today

There would be much to be said

I would say “I love you”, loud and strong

Before you went on your way.

Good night my sweet Beth. I'm such a mess without you.

All my love,

Pappy

Kissed a Clown

Kissed a Clown

Some memories bring tears
And some bring smiles
When I think of the years
And remember the miles...

On each other we depended
A blurry line was our span
I never knew where I ended
Or knew where you began

Since from this earth you have gone
My life is so much less
I've never felt so alone
My blurry line fades to nothingness

But I should never forget
When these thoughts get me down
That I was extremely blessed
Because I have kissed a clown

 

Goodnight my sweet Beth.  I would be so good to get white make-up on my face again.
