IN MEMORIAM
In memory of
BENJAMIN AND
GERTRUDE MISKIN
For I am saddened by her leaving.
I didn't want her to go.
But I knew that she was suffering
And was dying oh so slow.
How she suffered, how she cried.
I can still feel her pain
As she withered down to nothing
And she sat and watched the rain.
Now the night winds sing a melody
Only she did know.
It brings a message back to me
Of how he loved her so.
How his empty heart was breaking
With the passing of each day.
And the more he thought about her
The less that he would say.
The question I am asking,
Why did she have to go?
Why did she have to leave us
And not see how we did grow?
Now the day wind whispers to me
As I walk along the road,
Of a great love that he carried
And how heavy was his load.
How he loved her, how he held her,
How he nursed her through the night.
Knowing that at any moment
She would be giving up the fight.
And the stars tell me a story
Of the beautiful affair
And the many precious moments
The two of them did share.
Now I know why he was sad,
Why his love died oh so young.
And about a heart so broken
And a song that never was sung.
The birds didn't sing that summer.
The flowers never did bloom,
As a peaceful haunting feeling
Slowly crept into her room.
He joined her in another summer.
He knew just where she went.
Now they walk, holding hands, together
In quiet, sweet content.
