Justin Hensley Poet Free verse

One Last Goodbye

 We was only 3
 You walked into the room
 With your golden blonde hair
 Sparkling from the open window
 You tucked us in for our nap
 I leaned down
 To say goodbye
 you told me 
 "Take care of your brother and sister
 And you'll be back"
 Well time has past 
 that back never came
 I wonder to this day 
 Whatever had happened
 It has been 19 years now
 Since you told me 
 "You'll be back"
 I didn't know that day
 Would be 
 The Last Goodbye


 Inspired by 
 Danielle’s contest
