Bonnie Hollywood-Cutts Poet Rhyme

The One I Miss

The one I miss

You left our family recently
it's only been a few days
You were always my favorite aunt 
You have always been so special to me.
I enjoyed our talks, you knew what to say
You knew my dreams and what I'd want

You were the one that called me tunia
and made up a silly song to sing
whenever I was sick or injured
I always called you Auntie Conna
You had an answer for everything
and always used  compassionate words


I loved your butterfly kisses and warm hugs
I loved being with you but you lived so far away
You made my childhood fun when you'd visit 
You'd always help me collect my lizards and bugs.
I always tried so hard to make you stay
I'd cling to you so you knew you'd be missed


I wish I could cry and shed some tears
It's been so long since  they flowed
I thought by crying I wasn't being strong
But you understood and calmed my fears.
You loved my poetry that changed As I'd grow
You helped  me learn and see when I was wrong.

I want to have you back with us
But I know you'd still be suffering in pain
You were always so careful to hide it away
Not wanting pity or anyone to fuss
You'd suffer quietly and never complain
I know we'll be together again one day


I'm so glad I called you recently
To wish you a happy birthday
and filled you in on all the news
You were so pleased to hear from me.
No matter what I would have to say
With you, I felt that I could never lose
So now I'll hold you in my memories

James Horn January 21, 2015 at 8:03 PM Perfect except for one small error. You used was twice in third line of 2d stanza. Is full of so much feeling and thoughtfulness. If I could, I would want to have both of you as my friends. God bless you Bonnie. Thanks for emailing it to me.
