Christina's Nitemare



"Christina's Nitemare"

In my precious moments between silence and solitude her face appears as if she just graduated from high school...
Then comes the avalanche of emotions...
Fear, love, and depression...
This knife still cuts so deep...
No way i could go back to sleep...
I ask myself, time and time again...
Is there something I could have done ?...
A place i should have been ?...
A twist of fate, the will of God, the nitemare of Hell to perpetuate this date...
She was my Kathy...
Bold and Beautiful, strong and protective...
She guarded the family with her heart, body and soul...
15 years, I see it so clear...
15 years, As I wipe away the tears...
15 years, I asked God why me ? ...
He then said this Angels mission was complete...
Once in Heaven, all your souls shall meet...
Kathy went home at 34 this true...
While her daughter Ciara followed her at 32...
Is this Poetic Justice
Or another plan just to confuse us ?...
Only God knows for sure...
Only God's Wisdom will be Christina's  Cure...

(By Neil Mckenzie)
