Your Smile - Our Last Goodbye

I still remember that day, Now almost four years ago Christmas morning at 06H30... My birthday, a day of celebration – One of joy, just like that with one phone call Everything changed… You left me behind, Tears and disbelief… Our last conversation, a vivid memory I remember asking, “Gummie what are you getting me for my birthday this year” All you answered were, “it’s a surprise” I don’t think that is what you had in mind But it happened, unplanned… God saw it fit to take you away that day… It felt like I was dreaming That I would wake up and you would be in front of me, That never happened… Until today, I will never forget the last time I saw you. That smile without words, A smile that was also our goodbye. I never made it to your funeral But I know every Christmas, You are there, still smiling, the difference is you are no longer in pain… Name: Wilma Neels Contest: Your "Saddest" Christmas Ever Sponsor: Constance La France ~ A Rambling Poet ~
