I loved Her So
"TOGETHER
IN THE PAIN OF MY BIRTH,
TOGETHER
IN THE PAIN OF YOUR DEATH"
Alana
Hodges
When My Father
left To go to War
In the year
of '44...
Sweet Maria
Elaina ,
Forever played
In my Mothers ear.
I know it was
hard
With My Dad
off to War...
For My Mother
alone,
This child she
bore...
Many Years
Later
I Got the
call...
My Mother had
taken
A terrible
fall...
It seems as
though
That is when
it begun ...
Soon the race
over
And Done...
This terrible
cancer
Had ravaged
her core ...
Soon She would
be
With me No
more...
I said goodbye
On a Summer's
Day...
To the Mother
Who would soon
go away...
To meet My Dad
In Heaven
Above...
And once again
Renew their
love...
With a Tear In
her eye
I knew, fell
for me...
I asked her to
Kiss Daddy
Then I set Her
free...
As I listen to
the music
of Sweet Maria
Elaina
Floating
through the air...
Memories of
Mother
Transport me
there...
To the Year of
'44
Now with Daddy
back from war.
My Mom was
Mary Elaine
She passed
July 13 1990 7:11 P.M.
