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
