Never Say Good-Bye Poem by Melvina Germain

It is the motion in the moonlight
and how I felt after we kissed.
It's the sparkle in your eyes
when we held hands like this.

It's every waking moment of
melancholy blues, and the whispers
at midnight sharing blessings in the nude.
O it's that unconditional love that comes
from so deep within.

When I dance that silent dance
and only shadows appear, well that's
when I realize your flesh body is no
longer here.

O it's the songs that we sung when we
danced the night away, and the laughter,
such wondrous joy, shared night and day.
It's the warmth of your body, how I miss
those snowed in nights.

It's the sound of thunder resonating through
the air. It's your deep rich voice that I so
long to hear. It's the prayers that we
shared while waiting on Deerfoot Trail and
it's the trust you placed in me, every story,
every tale.

May such memories never fade as the years
come upon my soul. For your image vividly lives
beneath the curtain of my eye and I see your arms
wide open waiting to embrace me, never saying
good-bye.
