The Kiss Good-Bye

Jenny stands awkwardly looking in the eyes of her mother
She glances at the other kids and their moms saying good-bye to one another
She feels confusion and envy as a boy's mother kisses his cheek.
Jenny looks back, but her mother was gone, her love playing hide and seek.
So young and so very sweet,
Yet cheated of natures motherly treat.

As she lies in bed her mother stands by her side.
She can see fear in her mother's eyes, as if her mom would run and hide
She crosses her fingers and closes her eyes for what seemed like forever
But when she opened, her mother was gone,
How much more could she endeavor?
That night she cried and felt as though her mom would never care.
Just one kiss was all she wanted, just one kiss that they could share.
Well, now she decided that her life would not come to an end.
She will get her kiss, and her kiss she would defend.

What Jenny did not know was that her mom wanted to so much.
But her mom did't know, cause her mom's mom never showed,
she never got a kiss or a touch.

Jenny decided that she had had quite enough.
In the car she felt uneasy, she knew this would be tough.
They stopped at a light and Jenny calmly cleared her throat.
She slowly thought through, she slowly took close note.
"Mom," she said as she shyly looked at the floor,
Her mom knew it would come, and wanted to escape out the door.
"Why don't you love me and why can't you see,
Why dont your realize that I need you to kiss me?
I need you to show your love and affection,
I need you to know that I can't bare your rejection."
Oh how the tears fell from her mother's eyes
She knew she must overcome with no more love disguise.
She wanted to say I'm sorry and I'll make it up to you,
But she didn't know how, she didn't know what to do.

Just as her mother was about to speak her mind,
the light turned to green, and they started off the line.
Jenny's world seemed to painfully turn around.
She saw it coming fast, and she heard the horrid sound.
Her world was closing around her and all was going black.
The metal seemed to crush her, and the red ran down her back.
She coudn't see her mother, she couldn't see at all.
The next thing she knew, they rushed her down a pure white hall.

Jenny fell asleep sometime in the hellish night.
Her dreams were all nightmares, and nothing was going right.
She dreamed of her mother and how it could have been.
She did't deserve this, she committed no sin.

When she awoke there was a nurse by her bed.
The nurse gently said, I'm sorry your mothers dead.
Jenny screamed in horror, she just couldn't bare this news.
But she knew the nurse was honest, and she couldn't just refuse.

The next couple of days were the hardest ones to bare.
For she never got a kiss, never one to share.
She picked her prettiest dress, the one with pure black lace,
To attended her mothers funeral, to look at her pure white face.

The sun was hot and shiny, and the grass was soft and plush,
Her eyes were burning bright, and her cheeks were moist and flushed.
As she listened to the preacher, and the wonderful things he said,
she looked at the marble white grave where her mother was buried dead.
There was no cross or angel, or anything of the kind,
But an answer to her prayers is what she did finally find.
Her mothers' kiss was carved on the head stove of the grave,
Her kiss was blowing to her, she new her heart was saved.
Written above the lips, were the words written bright and true,
"Good-bye my Jenny, I have always loved you."
