There Were Kisses

There Were Kisses

When Barbara passed, it was a blur
I cannot remember all
Dani held her hand with me
When God made the final call

I thought I did not kiss her 
Did not touch her lips goodbye
I could not help but question this
Could not help but wonder why

I wrote about this earlier
Questioning through tears that flowed
About the wife, whom I had lost
Who was gone from my life's road

When daughter Dani read that poem
She recalled that I was nice
She recalled that I had kissed her
Was not only once, but twice.

When Barbara was still with us
She saw me kiss her on the lips
Then on the forehead ,when she passed,
Those memories, for me, were blips

I thank God for Dani every day.
That she recalled there was a kiss
That she was there beside me
Still in my life to bring me bliss

Thank you God, that she's my daughter
I pray to you on every day
That you'll guide her and protect her
As she moves along the way.
