A Sad Goodbye

A Sad Goodbye (Vir Tannie Charmaine) By Dalene Deale-Rowe Gone too soon And we weren’t ready to say goodbye Our hearts will be heavy And our souls will cry There are many things I’ll remember about Aunty Charmaine She had sad eyes that always carried a bit of pain But a naughty little giggle and very infectious laugh Always ready with a coffee and a little bit of toast For when we partied a bit hard Which was probably more often than most At home she’ll wait While we all stayed out a bit late Reminding us the next morning That we created out own fate She was a mom to many And always welcomed us back Regardless of how long We had lost contact I hadn’t seen her for a while But I will always remember her face And in many people’s hearts She will always have her place.
