Anna
I simply can't believe it! She's not dead and gone!
It's just a dream I tell myself. This sleep goes on and on.
But who am I to kid? Could pretend that I'm alright.
Could carry a smile with head up high, deceiving all in sight.
Could fake a smile for all. I could make a lie seem true.
I could but won't pretend. So Anna, this one is for you.
She loved to drink her wine! Had the finer things in life.
I always stood beside her when involved in silly fights.
To her I was a brother. Forsaking all the others.
She's such a sweet rare item. There shall never be another.
This woman, ah this woman! The way she left, I feel so bad.
Like a time machine taken a-back, I'm visiting my own past.
She told me of her life. How she loves her precious daughter!
I wipe a tear. I try to breathe. I swear it's getting harder.
So hard for me to breathe. Hard to talk about her end.
I lost my sister. Lost my friend. Now where do I begin?
The post on the wall, "R.I.P" is all it said.
With shock and dismay I cried. I hung my heavy head.
Oh Anna, sweet Anna! Don't you know I miss you so!
I know you're resting now, but still I cannot let you go.
Oh Anna, sweet Anna! How I thought the world of you!
All is left is memories. I will carry on for you.
Anna, oh sweet Anna! Didn't even say goodbye!
Left me here to grieve and moan, drying tears from weeping eyes.
I'll keep your memory alive. Rest in peace. I do love you.
I'm missing you sweet Anna...I am truly missing you.
In memory of Anna Young.
