Amelia Wilkinsin Poem
My neighbor Jenny ran for my door
wiping bloody tears from her chin
Just like a hundred times before
Bobby was beating her again
I stared at Jenny's overnight bag
knowing she would never unpack
I gave her a rose and a wash rag
Then watched her go running back
Chorus
I tried to make her understand
Real love isn't written with blood
t's stenciled with a gentle hand
like soft petals of a rose bud
Real love isn't written with blood
I heard the fire from Bobby's gun
as Jenny neared the garden gate
She'd never see the morning sun
My gift of wisdom came too late
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
She clutched petals of a rose bud
and whispered with her last breath
Our vows weren't written with blood
You can't love somebody to death
Repeat chorus

Amelia Wilkinsin Poem
Upon a bridge over tranquil water
A lady like an angel knelt to pray
Escaping from the illness that bound her,
As she remembered her true love far away,
Then a wild orchestra began to play
musical notes of two lovers crying.
and a vee-shaped cloud formed over the bay
One night in moonlight when geese came flying
A flock of mourners circled around her,
Joining the maiden with shrieks of dismay
And with wide eyes she watched them gather,
A thousand flapping wings of pearl and gray,
United in mothers nature's ballet,
Filling the Heaven's with sounds of sighing,
And sweet essence of a lilac bouquet
One night in moonlight when geese came flying
By a lake of blue, her soul mate found her
Weeping in tall grasses where goslins stay
Beneath a glistening ball of silver,
He stood, holding a scented floral array
Watching her hair in the midnight breeze sway
And at his feet an ol' goose was lying
The one who'd let his weary feet this way
One night in moonlight when geese came flying
Now they share precious memories each day,
And in his loving arms there's no denying,
That fate had not led her true love astray
One night in moonlight when geese came flying
