I don’t own Harvest Moon.
-----------------------
She was beautiful,
The day they put her in
the ground,
Her red hair gone white,
Her smile still bright,
The love of his life.
Her children wept at the
pyre,
Crying, sobbing, they
did not tire,
She never said never,
but encouraged them,
to be their best, to
reach the sky.
Heaven wept as she died,
Rain fell and fell, down
and down,
Till the drops hit the
ground,
The ground, she was
buried in that ground.
He reminiscences, about
their life,
It had been a happy one,
With no pain or strife.
He cried as he
remembered their son's birth,
And how their daughter
was born.
He cried as he
remembered their wedding, so beautiful and true.
He remembered the
promise they had made, even the part he wished wasn't true,
Till death do us part,
the basic truth.
The children comforted
him as they left the ocean side,
The place she loved,
besides home.
She had been disabled,
those last few months,
But when the time came,
she hobbled around town, saying goodbye.
He remembered the day
her father died,
How he'd comforted her,
and the way she cried.
He lay in bed, thinking
of the youth they had shared,
And how unselfish she
had been when he was sick.
He had kissed her for
the last time when she said goodbye.
He smiled as he
remembered how she had told him not to cry,
He smiled, and the
sunshine came out from behind the clouds.
His angel, Ann,
The woman he loved,
Jack knew she made the
sun show it's face.
He knew she was happy,
with her dad and mother.
As he fell asleep,
He could've sworn he'd
hear her say,
'Goodnight, Jack. I will
always love you.' once more.
Pretty sad, huh? I just
wrote this on the spur of the moment. I hope you think it's good.
