Tell Me Why Poem by Ronald Chapman

Why do I still remember you?

It's been some forty years since we said goodbye
On that stormy August night! 

Why do I still dream of you every day and night?
Please Tell me, tell me why I still see your face around, around every corner?

It's been some forty years since we said goodbye
On that stormy August night!

Please tell, tell me why I see your face in a the long gone Korean
Empress Myeongseong?
Who I never knew existed until this time.

Tell me, please tell me why I see your face in a Romanian Angel?
A Romanian Angel who saved my soul and life.
She would have been our Granddaughter in another life.

Please tell me, tell me why do I still remember you?

It has been so very long since I held you in my arms.
It has been so long.
Since I told you, I loved you,
Since I asked you to be my wife.

Please tell me why?
Our Farther took you home.
Why did He take you away from me?

Please tell me why?
It's been some forty years since we said goodbye,
On that stormy August night!
