A LOVE SONG - PART 9

FAREWELL AUNT SARA, REST IN PARADISE

The passing of Aunt Sara had her thinking
about him and all the fun times they shared
the back and forth, the ups and downs
a battered heart beaten beyond repair

Homegoing services for Sara V Adams
Private Memorial
Location and time
disclosed only to the family

As she dressed for the service
the memories attacked:
the shower - the closed lip kiss
the drying off and lotioned up - losing teeth and
fish funeral
the pantyhose - first cooked lunch
the blackdress - things are starting to run together
perfume and accessories - prom night, the bitch Ingrid,
the stripper and her baby
makeup, hair, look in the mirror---SNAP OUT OF IT
this mess is crazy she thought

She walked in signed the book, got a program took a deep breath
and started walking slowly looking straight ahead
right then and there she made up her mind, she was not sticking
around
O my she thought, Aunt Sara looked like she was sleeping, not a
wrinkle in sight, O wow, cant be, was her wig on crooked

His thoughts as he watched: DAMN, she looks good, look at her
all grown up, I want her back-no,no I love Ingrid

After she said goodbye and a silent prayer, she turned and
double-timed it outta there, speaking and making eye contact with
no one

WHO WAS THE BODY IN THE HOT BLACK DRESS - Derrick thought, as
he watched her walk out of his life (for now)......

What the what- ain't it funny how things happen?
It ain't over, Stay tuned-----
