A Letter To Lisa
I wrote a letter to Lisa
And sent it above.
It starts out "Dear Lisa"
and ends with "All my love"
I asked dear Lisa, are you happy
and where did you go?
Do you know how your missed
and if yes, how so?
I told dear Lisa that I look for her
in any mystical way.
I asked to see her pretty face
at night when I pause to pray.
I asked dear Lisa, is it you who talks
to me in my dreams at night?
And when looking above on a dark sky,
is it your star that so bright?
I told dear Lisa of how her mother
still cries with such grief.
And how on a sad day the pennies
she leaves gives comforting relief.
I reminded dear Lisa our last words
will lay heavy on my mind.
And how when younger we had a cousin
relationship like no other kind.
I told dear Lisa my memories of her
are happy and so very gay.
As children we would laugh, sing
and for hours we did play.
As we grew older
our lives did drift apart.
But my dear Lisa
you never left my heart.
I had one last question for dear Lisa,
Do you sing with angels?
Did Jesus take you by the hand?
Did he lead you to heaven
to be with him in the holy land?
When folding my letter
the tears sting my face with pain.
It was then I heard a slight whisper
Tammy, we will be together again.
